Bahrain GP could be cancelled

Posted on Thursday, February 17th, 2011 by paul

Following a week of protests and an overnight crackdown which left four dead and hundreds injured, Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone has stated that the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix could be cancelled if the situation does not improve. The event is scheduled to be held on March 13th but with pre-season testing planned for two weeks from now a decision is expected by the middle of next week.

On a related note, it was announced today that this weekend’s GP2 Asia event to be held at the same Sakhir circuit has been cancelled.

More Updates

Posted on Friday, January 14th, 2011 by paul

As you may have noticed I have updated quite a few sections in the last couple of weeks including the 2011 race schedule, the teams and drivers listings and the store.

There are still plenty more changes to be made as the links page, in particular, is pretty bad at the moment but it’s starting to look like it will be ready in time for the new season.

I’m back!

Well it took a little longer than I thought it would but I finally found some free time over the holidays and decided to tidy up the site and have a go at bringing it up to date.

It’s not finished yet as there have been a lot of changes in Formula 1 in the past couple of years so it’s very much a work in progress at the moment. Apart from the new look, I’ll be making some other changes in the next few weeks so check back from time to time and let me know what you think.
