Bahrain Grand prix is finally cancelled

After a long awaited decision from FIA, Bahrain Grand Prix will not take place this year. The race which was due to be host as a season opener of the Formula One season was cancelled due to civil unrest in the Gulf kingdom since February.

On Last week FIA announced that the Bahrain Grand Prix will take place of the Indian Grand Prix which was due to be host in October whereas Indian Grand Prix was reschedule for the December slot.

But again this Friday the organisers of the Bahrain Grnad Prix declared that the race will not take place due to the unstable situation in Bahrain.

"Whilst Bahrain would have been delighted to see the grand prix progress on October 30th... it has been made clear that this fixture cannot progress and we fully respect that decision"

"We want our role in Formula 1 to continue to be as positive and constructive as it has always been, therefore, in the best interest of the sport, we will not pursue the rescheduling of a race this season." says Bahrain circuit chairman Zayed Alzayani.


As we saw few drivers had given their concern for the Bahrain Grand Prix and so not many drivers or teams were optimistic about competing their at the gulf kingdom.

Moreover adding on to this there was an online signatories demand to boycott the race which was filled by more then a million.

However, Bahrain Grand Prix is schedule for the 2012 as a season opener and Indian Grand prix has been back to its October slot as it was decided by the FIA early this year.
