Bahrain is in the news again. The FIA reported on 3 June that the race would be run at the end of the season, but Bernie Ecclestone has admitted that the race was unlikely to go ahead after the teams association FOTA expressed concern.
This is by no means the end of the story as the FIA have the final say and the contractual position of the teams is unclear. Ex FIA chief and lawyer Max Mosley is quoted in the UK media as suggesting the decision to race needs the support of the teams. Whether that means a majority,FOTA or all teams is unclear.
Update 10 June 2011
The organisers of the Bahrain have now issued a statement suggesting that the race is unlikely. This statement now puts the seal on the situation.
Once again deplomacy has saved the day and everyone has an outcome they can live with. In other words never say never,but it won't happen.
