    It's quite unbelievable that the F1 is going back there after what the Al Khalifa family has done. If I was a driver I would be calling for a driver boycott. Their fellow athletes have been treated horribly!

    Money talks I suppose. Should be banned from FIFA and shame on Peter Taylor for playing dumb when asked by the American about Hubail.

    Fairly sure they will be banned by FIFA, i would be more worried something will happen this weekend at the race.

    If history has taught us anything its that FOM/Foca/Fisa don't give a flying fcuk who signs the cheque as long as it doesn't bounce. Fifa are one small step behind.

    Though I don't agree with any of this, I kind of respect FIA more because it's a private company owned by people out for profits.

    FIFA on the other hand set themselves up as some benovlent organisation but are clearly just out to cash in on everything and then skim money off the top in whatever way they can.

    The FIA made no bones about moving F1 races to countries that still allowed cigarette advertising and they'll be obvious about the fact that F1 is in Barhain because they put together the best deal.

    FIFA on the other hand are bringing the WC to Qatar because 'The Arabic world deserves a World Cup' and they put together the best package proposal - apart from weather, fans, human rights, infrastructure and all that.
