Worried teams are ready to pull out of troubled Bahrain Grand Prix On a day of conflicting reports, one protest group called the February 14 Youth Coalition warned Formula One personnel that their safety could not be guaranteed, insisting that anyone travelling to Bahrain for the race, which is scheduled for April 22, would be complicit in the "bloody and criminal system" in place and as such would be deemed "responsible of [sic] the shedding of blood of the dedicated Bahraini people." Anyone who invades the circuit is putting themselves in danger, putting the drivers in danger, putting potentially other spectators in danger. That will be clamped down on and properly so. The FIA, the governing body of Formula One, remained silent on Monday night as the speculation raged but some teams, having toed the line for months, began to crack. "I don't think anybody's keen," one senior team official admitted to The Daily Telegraph. No one wants to travel to a country where one is not wholly welcome. However, he stressed that with the Foreign Office still not placing any restrictions on travel to Bahrain, there are no insurance issues as there were last year when the race was postponed and then cancelled. He also revealed that many teams have sent out staff ahead of the race to report back on the situation there, with one recent report by Lotus finding that day-to-day life is "pretty normal." While nothing formal has yet been organised there will undoubtedly be talks in the Shanghai paddock later this week. "I know we keep saying it but we really are in the hands of the FIA, the commercial rights holder and race organisers here to make the right decision," the source added. And of course they must be made for the right reasons; commercial and political factors must not be allowed to compromise anyone's safety. The FIA president, Jean Todt, is expected to be in China.
