To say that I am disappointed that the Bahrain F1 GP has been cancelled would be a bit of an understatement.
It’s OK for all you football fans, the season never really ends any more. There is football available on the TV 365 days a year. OK so some of it isn’t British football but it is there for you to watch.
For F1 fans there is nothing from the end of one season to the next.
And now, just when the F1 juices have started to flow with the Bahrain race due to run on the 13th March, we are faced with a further two-week delay before the season truly starts.
And before the dissenting voices start beating me up and telling me that human life takes precedence over sport.
I do truly, totally agree. I wish the Bahrain people well and hope that there is no more bloodshed or injuries.
But as a F1 fan it is my right to feel disappointed.
