So does the fact that the Saudi's have now sent troops into Bahrain, mean that it was the right decision to cancel the GP last weekend?
No, just race under closed conditions with UN peace keeping forces surrounding a 15mile radius centred about the track. Shoot anyone who gets to close. Simple.
Oh, no, lets cancel the grand prix instead. . .

As opposed to Bernie running it? What indication is there that they (Santander for example) don't already have a large say in how F1 is run?

Err, you know I was being sarcastic don't you?
If you don't put the sarcasm smilie you can't have any sarcasm! How can you have any sarcasm without the sarcasm smilie?

By saying something so preposterous as to defy credibility.

Protestor's death and rioting rekindles Bahrain fears
While race organisers and Formula One officials have been upbeat about their decision to go ahead with the Bahrain Grand Prix in three weeks time, their fears that the event would lead to an escalation of protests within the kingdom appear to have been realised after a weekend of violence which left one person dead.
Unrest on Saturday escalated after it emerged a 22-year-old had been killed after being hit by a shot from a civilian vehicle following closely behind the police. That triggered more widespread protests, some specifically against the staging of the race, on Sunday and police fought running battles to try to maintain control. They fired teargas into crowds and made a number of arrests.
You beat me to it by 2 minutes.
Seriously, why risk it and insult the country even more by staging a race? There's still time to call it off.....Bernie you old Gnome.

Now let's be fair to the gnome with a pageboy, the country's leaders bear most of the responsibility.
Why hasn't this race been permanently ditched goes beyond my comprehension...
