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.

Canadian Grand Prix preview

The seventh championship round of the Formula one Season is on this weekend at the Montreal. Gilles Villeneuve is very popular race track, has panoramic view and one of the tough circuits for the drivers, with the esse into the first corner, two hairpins, high bumpiness, and the low down force.

The first ever Grand Prix was held at year 1978. The circuit is situated on the narrow island in the St Lawrence River.

With this year new regulations, the race will be more interesting to watch. Especially with the KERS, Pirelli tyres and two Drag Reduction System (DRS) zone which will be good to see how teams cope with the breaking temperatures and minimum three pit stops.

However, the supersoft and soft tyres will be used in the Montreal. Pirelli motorsport boss Paul Hembery said “the reason we are going super soft and soft is that you want to have grip from the tyre, if you go with something too hard then you end wheel-spinning, tyres grain and they get consumed even quicker.”

So far this year Redbull’s Sebastian vettel has won 5 races out of 6 races. I reckon this time he can win the race too but then that Lewis being a close competitor has got enormous chances to win at the Canadian Grand Prix.

McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton has won twice, been on pole three times. His first Grand prix win was in year 2007 and then in year 2010. It’s one of the favourite tracks for Lewis. “Montreal is a very special place for me," says Lewis.

Apart from Redbull’s and McLaren’s there are chances that Renault, Force India can gain some points. Moreover, Ferrari’s is not to behind of Redbull’s and McLaren. Fernando Alonso has shown his great driving talent staying right behind Vettel at the Monaco Grand Prix. He had won in year 2006 when he drove for Renault.

Well just two days to go for the Friday’s first free practice. We will see one more amazing race of this season. So enjoy the weekend.

Sergio Perez is confident to race at the Canadian GP

Sauber's Sergio Perez will race this weekend in the Canadian Grand Prix. After the horrible crash that took place at the Monaco Grand Prix a week back, he is looking forward to race this weekend’s. Mexican race hero Sergio Perez keeps a high hopes to reach podium and get some points this year for him and his team.

He tells in the one of the interview by “Mexico today” that he is suffering from pain and leg injury but he is ready to race. "I'm perfectly fine, just some pain - but now it is going away and I really recover quite quick. The accident? I can't believe it was only a few days ago but I am very motivated now."

Although he is quite motivated after the crash that took place in qualifying where he was hospitalise for 2 days in Monte Carlo. He also added that “he had drifted slightly wide going through the tunnel after adjusting some settings in the cockpit”

However, he is confident enough to race at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. Before the Friday’s free practice he has to go through the medical test where he hopes that he will pass the necessary test which is set by the FIA on this Thursday.

Will Indian GP be hosted in October?

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.

Will F1 teams boycott Bahrain GP?

After all the controversies, Bahrain GP is back on the F1 calendar. Whereas inaugural Indian Grand Prix will now be the Season Finale i.e. 9th, 10th & 11th December, 2011

The Bahrain Grand prix was earlier scheduled for 13 March as a season opener, but was cancelled due to civil unrest in the Gulf kingdom since February. This lead to declaration by the King of Bahrain as a “State of emergency”.

However, there are still many peculations that the situation in Bahrain is not under control and not safe to host the race.

F1 teams & the human rights campaigners have criticized that hosting a race in Bahrain will not be safe.While FIA president Jean Todt believes that the “the FIA is happy that Bahrain is now safe enough to hold the race - having sent Spanish motorsport federation Chief Carlos Gracia there for a recent fact-finding mission”.

Moreover, the Campaign director Alex Wilks criticised saying to the BBC “Claims that calm has been restored and life is back to normal in Bahrain are completely untrue”. He also added saying that the police are still using sound grenades, rubber bullets and tear gas to injure the local public.

Redbull’ driver Mark Webber was the first driver to declare publicly that "Even though a decision has been made, I'll be highly surprised if the Bahrain Grand Prix goes ahead this year”.

F1 Supremo Bernie Ecclestone believes that the Situation at Bahrain is not stable and so he will called for a new vote to cancel the Bahrain grand prix and reschedule the date to December rather the on 30October.

"Better that we move Bahrain to the end of the season and, if things are safe and well, then that is fine, we can go," "If they are not, then we don't go and there are no problems."We can change this 30 October date by having a vote, by fax if necessary." says Bernie.

Max Mosley, the former head of world motorsport speaks to the BBC Radio 5 live today where he says that he doubts if Bahrain GP will  take place and further more he added that if it takes place then the Formula 1 will suffer the enormous damage.

The Formula One Teams Association (FOTA) which signifies all the teams expect Hispania, will decide with the FIA about the Bahrain Grand Prix. Many F1 teams and drivers will decide till the Canadian grand prix will take place, whether the Bahrain Grand Prix should go ahead or would be unsafe to race.

Motorsport's governing body, the FIA, may change F1 Calendar again by the next week or by the end of this month if all the teams vote to cancel the Bahrain Grand Prix for 30october.

Lewis Hamilton: In all honesty I will never stop racing the way I do. It's the way I do it

The eventful Monaco Grand Prix was a disappointed weekend for Lewis. As he faces 2 drive through penalties for overtaking Ferrari’s Felipe Massa and later collisions with Williams Pastor Maldonado.

After the race in one of the interview, frustrating Lewis burst out appalling comments on the stewards and his rivals.“Massa held me up in qualifying, I got the penalty. He turned in to me [during the race], I got the penalty. These drivers are ridiculous. It's stupid." Says Lewis.

Being to the steward 5 times out of 6 races, Lewis describes FIA stewards as a frickin' joke. The reason when asked, Lewis describes "Maybe it's because I'm black. That's what Ali G says”. However this leads him to see steward again for the apologies which he did and to their fans on the social site Twitter.

"Hey guys. I wanted to apologise 4 last weekends performance & also my comments after, I never meant to offend no1," he wrote. "I would also like to say thank u 2 everyone on here, 4 their positive messages & also 2 the angry messages. I can respect them both.

"2 Massa & Maldonado, with the greatest respect I apologise if I offended u. Both of u r fantastic drivers who I regard highly. 2 my fans lost & my fans won, I wish u nothing but love & happiness. God Bless u. onwards & upwards, Montreal next. Lewis."

Further more, he added that his intention is not to stop racing the way he does, but if the situation comes where he has to drive for fourth or fifth place and just cruise around then he might would not stay around for that and might stop racing. "I am here to race and win. If I have to lose that passion then it blows all racing." “In all honesty I will never stop racing the way I do. It's the way I do it," said Hamilton.

"At the end of the day, this is motorsport and we are supposed to see racing. Not many people overtake in Monaco, and I tried to do that. Unfortunately, collisions caused me to have some penalties. I will recover from this weekend, [hopefully with] a win in Canada. It is a big gap [to pace-setter Sebastian Vettel in the world championship standings], but anything can happen."

We will see Lewis in few days time at the Canadian GP where he seems to be positive that he can win the race at the Canadian GP.
