In London this week, F1 chief executive and team bosses stood side by side with Bahrain circuit officials, insisting the race will go ahead despite defiant speculation to the contrary. But Auto Motor und Sport reveals that the teams will also be ready if the plug is indeed pulled at the last minute -- for example, their freight would go not from Shanghai to Bahrain, but back to Europe via Dubai. And the report also said tickets have been reserved for the teams' travelling staff, in the event they do not have to hop directly to the island Kingdom.
Michael Schumacher, however, insists he is not worried about going to Bahrain. "I'm pretty relaxed, honestly," said the seven time world champion. "From our perspective, we're going to be very well looked after, because they (the race organisers) might foresee whatever and be prepared. I'm pretty sure we're going to be ok," added Schumacher.
