Crown Prince of Bahrain Sheikh Salman bin Isa al Khalifa: ?We are in constant contact with concerned authorities to reschedule the Bahrain Grand Prix 2011. Now that security has prevailed and normal life has returned to Bahrain, thanks to the wise leadership, we are stepping up contacts to host the race anew.?
?The same stewards from Malaysia will oversee the race in China: Emanuele Pirro, Garry Connelly and Vincenzo Spano.?

F1 big picture ? Petrov?s damaged tyre (BBC)[6]
?With Petrov?s left foot pressed hard on the brake pedal, the car went into a wild pirouette ? and the slick tyre?s bias-ply material was exposed for all to see.?
Systems overdrive (MotorSport)[7]
?Some suggest that these systems are no different from adjustable boost in the turbo era, whereby you could temporarily award yourself some extra horsepower (at the same time knowing that it was eating into your restricted fuel allowance for the race). But that argument is hardly valid ? if a following driver whopped up his boost to pass you, there was nothing to stop you doing the same to defend your position.?

Comment of the day
Kowalsky was at the Spanish Grand Prix 25 years ago yesterday[9] to see one of the closest race finishes of all time:
I was there. And the thing I remember vividly is the qualifying lap Senna did.
I was in the fast right hander behind the pits. Those were the years of the qualifying tyres, and the 1000bhp engines. And it was amazing to watch the Brazilian giving it everything. That bend, even if not as famous as others in the calender, was one of the best Ii have ever seen. A few years later Martin Donnelly had a huge accident there.
After the race I got into the paddock, and Bob Dance, Lotus chief mechanic, gave me a Nacional cap that was on top of a tool box. Not a bad weekend at all.

On this day in F1
On this day in 1952 Alberto Ascari[12] gave the world a taste of what was to come in the forthcoming season by winning the non-championship Pau Grand Prix by three laps in his Ferrari 500.
He went on to win six of that year?s eight championship rounds in the car, plus another five the following year, giving him back-to-back crowns.
He also set the record for the most consecutive world championship race wins ? nine ? as he did not enter the 1953 Indianapolis 500.
