Lots of rumors on the internet again about the situation in Bahrain. F1 should make a statement and just drop this event for once and for all with the current regime in place.
Bernie wanted to give the money back but Bahrain said it was no problems.I agree 100%, but we all know Uncle Bernie's gonna wait around until the last minute to make a formal decision....or at least until the Prince pays him the race fee, like he did last year.

Funny how a tiny lack of knowledge can make the subject look entirely different then it actually was.
Had Bahrain said they wanted their money back they would have got it. You can´t steal money from another government and expect that it´s all good after that, or even come back next year...The day I see Bernie give money back is the day I'll believe he's actually going to do it...not just based on what he says.
He also said that he had no involvement whatsoever with the whole Gribkowsky affair initially, yet we found out that wasn't quite the truth, having paid him to keep attention away from the Bambino Trust after being threatened blackmail concerning it.
And UK's does? Remember when our wonderful, helpful police beat up the students that just wanted to be able to afford an education? Or shooting people to start riots? We won't help our poor and homeless but we give billions we dont have to already rich bankers and politicians.Good. The country's government doesn't deserve the benefit of F1 helping their economy.

I agree with your views on the riots.Its down to your personal views I guess.
Personally (apologies to take this slightly off topic for a moment), I think that guy in Tottenham deserved to get shot. He was pointing a gun at police officers. What did he expect to happen? That incident was a convenient excuse for the not-so well off portion of North London's population to trash shops and steal stuff. It was one big bandwaggon for scumbags to jump on, thinking that they could blame it on the police.
That's the impression I got as well However, I think you are spot on as far as F1 is concerned.Sorry, I just looked at my post and it looks like it came from a raving left wing lunatic. Believe me I'm not, I was just trying to raise the fact that politics can be used in many ways and in many forms, and an individual nations politics should not get in the way of F1.

Of course I don't like what's going on in Bahrain, but I also don't like what's going on in at least 8 of the other countries hosting a GP, so how are they allowed one and Bahrain isn't?
