F1's Ecclestone says 'hopeful' of Bahrain GP

Strange days, strange words!!! This is what I get from reading your above report. While Mr Eccelstone announces that he and the F1 committee ' keep out of politics and religion'and that 'I don't really know and I don't know if people have ever found out exactly what the problems are.' He spills out 'I think it started there (Bahrain) for the same reason it did in Tunisia' and 'The guys go to college, they're there until they're 20 or 23 years old, spend all their life trying to do something. They achieve and then they can't find a job. So they get a bit upset and I don't blame them.' To update you Mr Eccelstone on the issue in Bahrain, the majority of the protesters (except for the mothers and the elderly as well as the school kids ) were doctors, engineers, nurses, technicians, supervisors, security personal, drivers just to name a few. Meanwhile, thank you Mr Eccelstone for giving us the chance to correct your information and help speed up your decision.
