Great, so Mr Eccelstone, we are sure you will not have the race this year ( and most probably the many years to come ) in Brazil & India as well as the Italian because of the daily street kidnapping, robbery and killings are a daily festive charm!! And yes, while you are at it, please do not forget to remove the Japanese and the Australian slots for fear of unexpected nature disturbances. PS, I would seriously have a strong thought of Europe as well as the danger of sudden eruption of the Icelandic Grimsvotn volcano would cause billions of losses and immense disturbances. GOOD LUCK

I am also quite worried as the 400,000 demonstrators rallied in London against the government?s spending cuts few days back, were quite upset that they damaged several public and private buildings including the Ritz and also attacked the police with smoke bombs and paint. Am really glad I was not there that day strolling & shopping, I would have been quite sad to be picked up by the police among the 214!! PS, you would be pleased to know Mr Ecclestone, that the number of demonstrators in Bahrain was a fraction of that of the London figure.
