F1 Opener canceled
F1 opener in Bahrain has, as was expected, been canceled.
How will this work out for BE? F1? Are other venues at risk? |

I suspect any event in that part of the world will be suspect.

That's what Bernie gets for going for the big bucks and new markets.

Not good for the Bahrainis. The GP is a huge money maker for them.

Best thing that could have happened.
I was listening to Ecclestone on the radio and all he was bothered about was his race. Totally unbothered about the plight of the people over there. An obnoxious little twat if ever there was one.

If Bernie were smart, he'd hold one, two or even three F1 races in the U.S., where really, the money will be guaranteed as there is already a strong F1 fan base here.

It would be telling if Ecclestone, after granting Bahrain a pass, eventually fines them big money for breaking their contract.

Meanwhile, the Arab tourists will flock there all year long. The race is 3 days. I'd be worried about the other 362. |
