So is Bernie now thinking that maybe the Bahrain GP is not such a good thing?

Probably just wants more money...

I have a bad feeling the race might be cancelled.
Which would be terrible considering how interesting the grid line up is. :/

Wow, this is Wikiquote material.

Here is more of his quote
"Human rights are that the people that live in a country abide by the laws of that country. I might be in Africa doing 200km/h with no problem.
If I come to England and do the same thing, I'm in trouble.
"So it's a case of whatever the laws are in a country. People need to respect them, all of us [visiting], and the people that live here."
What a hypocrite... We're talking about incarceration, abduction, torture, and he goes off about driving infractions...
Bernie and his associates (MacLaren, Ferrari, et al) like to hide behind the "this is just a sport" misdirection, but what they're truly doing if collaborating with an oppressive regime and giving them a global platform.
It would be sensible to have a global boycott against everything F1.

Well exactly. If people don't like the way the world works with money and corporations, following international motorsport isn't sensible. Take it as it is, or leave it.

This sort of thinking seems to me to be an increasingly popular form of learned helplessness (as I assume there must be some things in the world you would wish to see changed ... as even the most successful and richest people are constantly working for changes to the environment that got them their success and wealth, so why not lowly you).Well exactly. If people don't like the way the world works with money and corporations, following international motorsport isn't sensible. Take it as it is, or leave it.
