As it stands the world lately, revolts in the Middle not unnoticed for the first Grand Prix of the season of F1 2011 organizers. And Bernie Ecclestone fears that Grand Prize Bahrain would be the target of the antigobierno, and in my opinion have well-founded reasons to believe it.

(*) Note: I have translated bloody by bloody, it is possible that this is the direction you want to comment on Rajab, although you may also want to say that it can be moved, in the form of fighting. In any case I hope nothing happens.
