Bahrain Grand Prix 2012: Force India to skip practice session over safety fears Official anti-government demonstrations are planned for 4pm in the vicinity of Karrana and Abu Saiba, both to the west of Manama but on one of the routes back into town, while another demonstration is planned 2km away from the circuit. One youth activist group has called for three 'Days of Rage' to begin on Friday, timed to coincide with the presence of Formula One in the region. Force India driver Nico Hulkenberg said on Thursday that the sport should not have come, although he stopped short of calling for an 11th hour cancellation. "We shouldn't have been put in this position," the German said. However, former driver Martin Brundle, now a commentator for Sky Sports, said he believed it was right that the race went ahead. "In many ways, I've never seen Bahrain looking better," Brundle said. Clearly, there is some trouble out there, but I've not seen any of it. Some journalists have gone looking for it and unfortunately the trouble found Force India. My view is this: F1 can't run away from this. The race is scheduled and it would be weak of F1 to do that and it [running away] would create problems in other parts of the world we go to. If I were in charge of F1, I would have made the same decision to come here and race. I think we're doing the right thing.
