2011 GP2 Meeting in Bahrain called off, Bahrain GP under threat

Following the current events in Bahrain, at the request of the Bahrain Motorsport Federation, it has been decided that the remainder of the meeting which was supposed to take place this week at Bahrain International Circuit is cancelled due to force majeure.

According to a report on the BBC website, the Bahrain GP which is scheduled to start the F1 season, could be cancelled 

Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone has warned the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix in March will be cancelled if unrest in the country continues.  He will make a decision on whether to cancel early next week. He said: "If things stay as they are today, the answer is no. If it's not quietened down by Wednesday, I think we will have to cancel."
