    We need to hear more from Kate Walker! I'm a bit pissed off with Hill's attitude though, having read the whole article. It could almost be a pitch to succeed Todt if this weekend all goes tits up: is this really the time for that? Then again, he could only be an improvement!

    <ok> I've heard he'll leave tomorrow, won't even be there for the race. He doesn't even have the courage of his convictions if this is true. Does anyone know?

    You mean in the sense that it's a little Hitlerish?

    Message from Anonymous?

    Frank Williams is in attendance, though, his team having sacked someone for not wanting to go.

    From Hitler to Anonymous in one post :emoticon-0147-emo: Messed up, moi?

    Ominous stuff from Anonymous - I wonder what they can do..?

    I guess we can say goodbye to live timing this weekend. There's usually a Sky live timing feed available, though. It'd be interesting if they targeting Sky Go.

    <laugh> Only too well, but I wouldn't want to brush my hair with it afterwards.

    Back on topic, Force India are really spooked by this incident which the media are "overplaying', apparently

    As is their wont. Andrew Benson's "staff don't want to travel in the dark" turned into "team refuse to travel after dark" in two minutes flat.

    I wonder if the media did overplay the incident. I expect that the team are all professionals but two have gone home and now the team's operation is being affected; it must have been pretty scary.

    Some think so:

    Not sure what "a limited role" means. Maybe just the first half an hour?

    EDIT: seems so:

    Bahrain F1 security is currently the top story on the main BBC News website.

    Knowing Sao Paulo myself, I think this is bollocks, and why the anonymity?

    Edit: Actually, it really pisses me off all this comparison to Brazil. Who decided on this policy? I think they've been briefed to push this idea.
