The calls to cancel this year's Bahrain GrandPrix have resurfaced following the reported death of a young in the kingdom state over the weekend. It has been widely reported that the youth, who was protesting the fact that the GrandPrix is to go ahead was reportedly shot by a gang in an unmarked car with a false number plate.
As I write this article Bernie Ecclestone has yet to comment on the latest violence in the country and was insisting that the race will go ahead as planned on April 22. However it has been reported that the team's may not be too keen to send personnel and equipment to the state if the situation is still intense.
In my opinion, Bernie Ecclestone is just looking for the ace to go ahead because he wants to make sure that he gets money from the organizers, however if the race is indeed cancelled he will probably fine the organizers for not fulfilling their contract requirements. However this scenario is highly unlikely as it is ultimately up to the team's as to whether or not they travel to Bahrain.
The race is due to take place the week after the Chinese GrandPrix however the team's have apparently set up contingency plan's if the race in Bahrain does not go ahead.
