Formula 1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone has said that he cannot force teams to race in the Bahrain Grand Prix if they do not want to go, amid growing concerns over further unrest in the troubled Gulf state.
His status won't be changed to "rookie," but Rubens Barrichello will receive additional practice time at new tracks the rest of the 2012 IndyCar season, IndyCar announced Monday.
McLaren technical director Paddy Lowe says his team is 'stuck' over whether to pursue a Mercedes-style front wing stalling system until the rules regarding the device are properly clarified.
Ferrari technical chief Pat Fry believes the team is still almost a second off the pace in normal dry conditions, even though Fernando Alonso is leading the Formula 1 world championship.
Bahrain Grand Prix chairman Zayed Al Zayani has blamed 'armchair observers' and 'scaremongering extremists' for creating alarm over the Sakhir event, which is due to go ahead on 22 April.
