Indian Grand Prix which was initially schedule for 28.29.30 October but later it was moved by the FIA to the December slot to accommodate Bahrain Grand Prix.
Due to the unrest in the city of Gulf since February, the Bahrain GP which was due to held on 13 March was cancelled. Whereas on Friday, FIA again reinstate the Bahrain Grand Prix to the F1 calendar for the month of December. But the current situation in the Bahrain is still not stable, which is worrying all the F1 teams and the drivers.
Max Mosley, the former head of world motorsport thinks that the Bahrain Grand Prix will not take place and so the Formula 1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone “the Gulf state is not as stable as the FIA suggests and he is trying to overturn the reinstatement of the race”.
However, the Indian Grand Prix organisers are optimistic that the Buddh Circuit will be ready on time and no matter if the Indian Grand Prix will be held in October or December. Further more, Vicky Chandhok, Federation of Motor Sports Clubs of India (FMSCI) stated that the circuit will be ready by end of October which was originally planned and the preparation are in the full force to host the first ever race in India without any changes in the construction Plan.
The uncertainty towards hosting the race is still not clear. This is leading to confusion not only to the organisers but also the officials, teams and the fans too.
