Vettel against returning Bahrain to the calendar

If Sebastian Vettel ran Formula 1, he would not try to reinsert the Bahrain race into the 2011 calendar.

As protests in the Arab state continue, the most likely dates for returning to Sakhir, if the FIA ​​and Bernie Ecclestone want it, appear to be August or November.

In August, however, there would be the problem of temperatures, which would reach 40 degrees, and the fact that the race would break the traditional summer break.

Moving the GP to November, combining it with that of Abu Dhabi, would instead create a tremendous hat-trick in the already demanding final part of the calendar.

“The end of the season is already stressful enough, and in any case we already have so many races,” declared the German champion during the Geneva Motor Show.
