Re: Formula 1 General Chat & Discussion

The Formula One season-opening grand prix in Bahrain was canceled on Monday due to ongoing anti-government demonstrations in the Middle Eastern country.
The Bahrain Grand Prix was scheduled for March 13, but race organizers announced its decision after days of speculation that the event held at Bahrain International Circuit would be canceled.
Organizers released a statement announcing, "the Kingdom of Bahrain would withdraw from hosting this year's F1 Grand Prix race, so that the country can focus on its process of national dialogue."
The 3.914-mile (6.299-kilometer) BIC road course is located roughly 20 miles south of Bahrain's capital city Manama, where deadly clashes have occurred between protesters and riot police. Protesters are calling for the removal of the country's ruling monarchy.
Bahrain's Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al-Khalifa informed Formula One's top boss Bernie Ecclestone of the decision on Monday.
The Crown Prince said in a statement, "At the present time, the country's entire attention is focused on building a new national dialogue for Bahrain.
"Although Bernie Ecclestone had graciously made clear that a decision on the race was entirely Bahrain's to make and was not yet required, we felt it was important for the country to focus on immediate issues of national interest and leave the hosting of Bahrain's Formula 1 race to a later date."
No decision has been made on a new date for the Bahrain GP. Therefore, the first F1 grand prix on the 2011 calendar is now scheduled for March 27 in Melbourne, Australia.
