Sakhir circuit chairman says a considered decision has been made
Bahrain International Circuit chairman Zayed R Alzayani insists that race organisers have made a "calculated decision" to go ahead with the Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix.
Alzayani has consistently stated he is confident that this weekend's race will pass off without any problems despite the reported threat of protests. Formula One staff, including Williams driver Bruno Senna and Sergio Perez of Sauber, have already travelled to Bahrain and their arrival has passed off without incident. And Alzayani insists that the decision to hold the race, which was confirmed recently by the FIA, was made after careful consideration and does not involve any element of risk or gamble.
"We've been in Formula One for seven years and we will be in it for much longer than that," Alzayani said.
"We wouldn't take a decision on a gamble. But it's a calculated decision, we've weighed up our options and we are committed to the Grand Prix and to its success.
"I don't think anything drastic will happen. It's not Syria or Afghanistan. I don't see why anything should happen this year that hasn't happened in the previous years.
