On Wednesday evening, four members of the Force India team were traveling between the Bahrain International Circuit and Manama, according to Information Affairs Authority (IAA) statement.
They drove through an isolated incident involving a handful of illegal protestors acting violently towards police. During this incident a Molotov cocktail landed in the vicinity of their vehicle. After approximately two minutes, the route was cleared and the vehicle carried on its journey. There were no casualties and eyewitness reports from the scene confirmed that their vehicle had not been targeted.
The BIC would like to reiterate its confidence in the relevant Bahrain authorities in their ability to deal with such isolated incidents and can confirm that all the usual precautions are being taken around the track to ensure the level of security is maintained.
