Good. I hope the race gets called off altogether and the teams' time isn't lost in a wasteland.
I'm not a fan of Bahrain and its circuit, so I'd much rather see the season-opener in Australia.

Correct. Bahrain needs democracy and enlightenment much more than it needs auto racing at the moment. Bernie needs to understand that if you hold races in such places they'll probably need to be cancelled every now and then, or perhaps he can take a lesson from Dakar and run the race somewhere better.
