Hello (Hi Stephen).
Wasn't sure about posting this on the main site as its not really newsworthy (and also not based on a solid source) - just something that amused me.
I've recently been trialling the google blog search rss feeds. There's an awful lot of irrelevant information that it churns up when you have it looking for "F1", but every now and again it turns up a gem. For example the Williams Livery Leak story cropped up on a blog well before the main news sites got a hold of it.
Anyway, the feed threw up this blog post. I found it very amusing if not a little bit worrying.
I turned it into a small news story.

Do you know your Formula One cars from your Bicycles?
It would seem that organisers of the Bahrain Grand Prix still have a long way to go to promote Formula One in the Gulf region if a recent email to members of an academic institution in Doha, Qatar is anything to go by.
Staff at Qatar’s ‘Education City’, a mass campus housing several major American Universities, were sent an email on Tuesday warning them about about a Formula One car race taking place, without road closure, on the streets outside the academic complex.
The email, which was sent by the Qatar Foundation, Education City’s umbrella organisation, urged people to “be cautious of fast moving cars involved in the race.â€

The mind boggles - F1 cars in a trafic jam with bikes. I can tell the difference though, my bike has a bell and a basket thingy on the front whereas, I think, that an F1 car does not have any way of carrying shopping nor does it have any kind of hooter so it is very different from a bike.
