This ultimately never happened.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, the crown prince managed to convince Ecclestone that his country would be ready to host Formula 1 once again in 2012, and the race was therefore scheduled for April 22.<\/p>\n<p>However, for the past few days, Bahrain has been the scene of violent protests during which a young man was killed and another seriously injured. According to the newspaper Le Figaro: &#8220;The government reported an ambush on Friday by protesters against a police patrol, during which Molotov cocktails were used, and the authorities announced on Sunday the arrest of 11 &#8216;saboteurs&#8217; linked to this incident.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Informed of the unstable situation within the kingdom, Bernie Ecclestone stated: &#8220;There is clearly a problem,&#8221; but the Briton nevertheless hopes that the race will take place in April.<\/p>\n<p>Is Bahrain capable of hosting a Grand Prix on its soil in 2012? The question, both technically and morally, remains open, and Formula 1 might find itself in a predicament similar to last year&#8217;s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While the 2011 race was canceled in Bahrain due to the kingdom&#8217;s instability following the uprising of its people, the 2012 Grand Prix also seems to be under threat&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":30,"featured_media":41813,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,1749],"tags":[1404],"class_list":["post-20360","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-f1","category-news","tag-sakhir"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 -
