Formula One Teams leave Bahrain call to FIA
A human rights group called on the teams to boycott the race amid unrest in the country.
Red Bull and Ferrari bosses Christian Horner and Stefano Domenicali believe Formula One needs to trust the FIA’s decision over whether to return to Bahrain in 2012, according to the BBC. A human rights group called on the teams to boycott the race amid unrest in the country, saying that Formula One would be helping the government portray a false image if the race went ahead. However, Horner said that the decision needed to be made by the sport’s governing body. “The event is run by the FIA and we need to trust their decision,” said Horner. Domenicali said that the teams are not in a position to make such a call.
