Hucknall Ram Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 Bahrain Grand Prix: Force India car flees petrol bomb protest Force India team members were forced to flee as petrol bombs were hurled over their vehicle on their way back from the Bahrain Grand Prix track. The four mechanics in a 4x4 were caught in the middle of an incident as police clashed with protesters. Some tear gas fired by police entered the car, before the driver escaped through a gap in the flames on the road. No Force India staff were hurt but another team member has returned home. The men were travelling on the main highway from the track into Manama when unrest spilled into the road. After being stopped in the road for two to three minutes, the vehicle was able to move away as part of a larger group of traffic. Anti-government protests in Bahrain caused the 2011 race to be called off, and a number of teams expected a similar outcome for this year's race amid security concerns. Bahrain circuit chairman Zayed R Alzayani said: "They weren't targeted. They just happened to be there." He added: "I think it's unfortunate. It's an issue of timing. It could happen in any place in the world really, getting caught up in a riot or a fight or anything." The four men were said to be emotional, upset and angry with organisers that the race had been allowed to go ahead. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/17767985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boycie Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Been some violence over night, some protestor killed. Will it spill over into the track? If they get anywhere near, it'll more than likely be a blood bath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butthead Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 It won't get anywhere near the GP, the Security Forces will shoot 'em dead before they got anywhere near. Ecclestone's comments about the GP having nothing to do with the protests were the worst crap he's ever come out with and that's saying something.
