The opening of the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Bahrain has been called off following recent unrest in the country.
The decision to call of the Bahrain leg of the F1 calender was due to the recent violent protests which claimed 10 people and counting. This could cost $600m in revenue, according to one source while one newspaper claims that it would cost up to $60m for the race organisers, even though the racecourse recently have a revamp. The Formula 1 Grand Prix will now open in Melbourne in Australia on the 27th March.
