The ongoing protests which started on last Monday are expected to leave a major dent on Bahrain’s economy with Formula One bosses weighing their options including the cancellation of F1 season’s opener set for March 13 in Manama.
Bernie Ecclestone could cancel the Bahrain Grand Prix with a final decision expected in the next twenty four to forty eight hours.
The F1 top elite have already showed its concerns over the unfolding events in the Kingdom of Bahrain and keeping an eye on the situation.
The opener race of the season, experts say, is seen one of the most important events in the F1 racing calendar and should the Bahrain Grand Prix cancelled then there might be only 19 races in the 2011.
According to analysts any adverse decision on the F1 opener in Bahrain will have a huge financial implications for Bahrain specifically and the F1 organisers generally.
The F1 track Bahrain has been one of the vital pillars of the national economy since the opening of the region’s first F1 world class track in 2004.
