2011 1st GP cancelled.

I see Bahrain has pulled out of hosting this years 1st Grand Prix at the beggining of March :Whistle: Talk about giving short notice... :frown:

It's not as short as you think, the majority of the equipment is in Spain for the testing this week.
The cancellation isn't exactly unexpected given the unrest in Bharain at the moment

I think it was more Mr Ecclestone pulled the plug on it no?

Not strictly true - the majority of it is in a boat going to Bahrain (marketing centres, 2nd cars etc). They only take the minimum to testing.

Frankly, if you've seen some of the footage on YouTube (which is very graphic and I wouldn't advise you too) I'm amazed there are even contemplating heading back at all.

Kind of hard to race when there's a Revolution going on... F1 is the least of their worries at the moment. I reckon it won't be going back for a wee while...
