‘Security Is Number One in Bahrain Call’
Renault team boss Eric Boullier says the most important aspect in the decision about whether to race in Bahrain is safety.
Bahrain was scheduled to host the season-opening grand prix in March, however, political unrest within the country meant it was cancelled.
There are, however, calls for the race to be reinstated and a decision will be made at the next FIA World Motor Sport Council meeting on June 3rd.
But, before a decision comes, Boullier says the safety of the teams, drivers and fans must be guaranteed.
“If, security is guaranteed; if the foreign ministries in England allow us to travel there; if my guys are happy and if there is a race happening there, we will be happy to race there,” he said.
“But the next question would be in the political context — do we have to race there? That is another subject — and I don’t really want to enter into that debate.
“But the question has to raised. Does F1 have to go there? It is maybe too early to go there after the dramas.
“At the end, if I have to balance it, I have to support the idea of racing — but I also have to say that it also maybe not fair to go race there this year. So there is a little bit of a balance to find.”
