The real question is if the protesters ie extremist shot at or endangered the whole protest or attacked the police with what could be deemed as a deadly force :wink: . It's a difficult situation for both sides but trying to cause physical harm/injury/death must be met with equal force.


are you plagiarising the police academy textbook?

Why the hate? 7 crap races in 7 years is why! :hehe:

Well, we might not have to endure the race there given the unrest in the country - Bernie will talk to the Crown Prince Salman ibn Hamad ibn Isa Al Khalifa (anybody with such a name deserves to be sent to the desert) to find out what the scoop is, but chances are it gets canceled if the situation doesn't improve dramatically (the police shot two protesters today - not good for keeping peace among the masses).


From what I remember about being in arabic countries, the longer the name the more important you are

1st of all... Melbourne was a much more appropriate opener, because... well, there's F1 fans in australia.

Bahrain sucks because:
1. The track provides poor racing. Forget about the reasons, just look at all the past races, its lame. It may be fun on PS/Xbox but terrible in real racing; I love Barcelona in F12010... and the track layout itself may be nice and challenging... but the races are not that exciting.

2. There's no real F1 fans in Bahrain! Prince whatever just wants to showcase his wealth and prop up his business at the expense of his servants... reminds me of our politicians, but at least we change our politicians when another one lies better and we elect them, we can also embarrass them in public and judge them... even shoot them.

There's probably more reasons... but at least its not an oval.

i dont mind that the track surroundings look like they do.... its a desert, and its hot. You wanna have a World championship? you gotta have different scenarios.


:hehe::yes:

I actually prefer the vanilla Bahrain circuit to Turkey, which I consider massively overrated. I only dislike the fact that it's the season opener and I didn't like the endurance loop last year.

South Africa I understand, but I thought USA already has 2 or 3 tracks capable of hosting F1 and France has a great track which got scrapped after being a feature for many years because....I can't remember why. :confused:

Indy completely capable but now with Tony gone his sisters are at a 120% 'pucker factor' and are ignorant about racing in general. No other US track is up to 'code' per Bernie's expectations, where's that cookoo smiley :hehe: , yet we have the Austin,TX GP which is actually making progress ie dirt is being moved :hehe: . Bringing back the first GP of the season to Aussie Land is great imho, has bud purchased his tickets yet, I think so :wink: .
