Bernie is a sly one - I think he's probably mingled in with us to steel our ideas and influence what we think - maybe we should run a 'which poster do you think Bernie is in disguise" thread.
I'm sure we concluded it was KekeTheKing.

http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/91911 Mercedes team boss Ross Brawn says a season finale on December 11 is "totally unacceptable" and revealed that the teams have told Bernie Ecclestone as much.
Ecclestone is considering moving the Indian Grand Prix back to December 11 in order to accommodate the return of the Bahrain Grand Prix to the calendar, having ruled out a December 4 date because of logistics.
Brawn, who had already said he was against a December 4 finale, believes Formula 1 teams will run into problems if the seasons continue to stretch.
And he said the December 11 date is "totally unacceptable."
its not worth it having the race this year, Vettel has already got the title in the bag
India looks like a nice track, the layout has been changed after inputs from drivers and there's also a good mixture of corners
Bahrain on the other hand has hairpins aplenty and hardly produces any overtaking and the atmosphere is zero
I think there might be a race in Bahrain as long as the teams agree to take their personnel there - BE and Bahrain might think it's done and dusted but they have to convince the teams.Unfortunately Bernie was always going to have his way, whether we like it or not there will be a GP in Bahrain this year
The teams legally have to go, it would be very hard to get out of racing now that the green light has been given.
Indeed - my optimistic side coming outI would want to see it before I believe it
Yep.How convenient. The Foreign Office updated their travel advice to Bahrain yesterday:
Not only should individual drivers have a say in their team, but teams should have a say in their sport - sorry BernieAccording to Joe Saward's blog http://joesaward.wordpress.com/2011/06/01/bahrain-2/ linked to from the BBC wednesday gossip page, the teams have already met and decided not to race at Bahrain this year, and the race will be back on for 2012.
Not only should individual drivers have a say in their team, but teams should have a say in their sport - sorry Bernie
You do get the feeling, it's only a matter of shoeing in the race somewhere @ the back end of November. Love the fact F1 have said all is back to normal and peace has return.......probably something to do with the Army still manning road blocks, etc....And so should the fans.

Well at any rate, Bahrain's rulers have and Bernie sort of has. We haven't actually heard what the teams think yet.
