We asked the question again a few hours ago but the answer is now officially known: it is not. The organizers of the Grand Prix of Bahrain decided to cancel the holding of the first race of the 2011 season championship Formula 1 following the revolts of the population against its leaders.
The outcome seemed inevitable anyway given the problems currently known by the state of Bahrain, which faces a major political and social crisis. "We feel it is important for the country to focus on issues of national interest. The priority for Bahrain is to overcome the tragedy and find unity. "said the crown prince of Bahrain.
For his part, Bernie Ecclestone's cheek rather simple for now: "It is sad that Bahrain had to withdraw his race. We wish the best to the entire nation at a time when it begins to heal its wounds. We look forward to returning. "
The Bahrain Grand Prix could still take place later in the season depending on the changing policy framework. Note that the test session planned in Bahrain early next month is set aside and could be replaced by a session in Abu Dhabi.
