Force India member leaves Bahrain after incident A member of the Force India team has returned home from the Bahrain Grand Prix in the wake of fellow team members getting involved in an incident on the way home from the circuit on Wednesday night. A hire car with four Force India mechanics was accidentally caught up in a clash between protestors and police on the main motorway in to Manama. After being forced to come to a halt, a Molotov cocktail exploded near their car - although luckily no one was injured. Although the team members were able to return to their hotel, and the incident was not as a result of them being targeted because they are part of the F1 community, it was enough for another member of the Force India team to feel that they would prefer not to remain in the Gulf State. The four mechanics involved in the incident, that took place shortly after nightfall in Bahrain, will continue with their duties for the remainders of the weekend. Bahrain International Circuit chairman Zayed R Alzayani played down the matter, and said he would not request any tighter security as a result of what happened. "It was an isolated incident, and my wife was involved too," he said. "The protestors were not targeting the cars, they just happened to be there. Nobody was injured. "I don't command the police; they know what to do better than I do. I have a race to run." The Force India incident has come despite assurances from the FIA and Formula 1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone that the Gulf state is completely safe for holding this weekend's grand prix. http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/98957

i thought that part was very telling too. *waits for sebs response*.

more of that. Once again it appears the words 'Helmut Marko' and 'controversy' go hand in hand, with the Red Bull advisor asserting that new regulations that have been put in place this season were implemented with the intention of ending Red Bull's dominance. Red Bull's supremacy in 2011 was frightful, with the figures painting a bleak picture for their rivals; 12 race wins, 18 pole positions and the Drivers' and Constructors' titles in the bag - the Milton Keynes outfit could hardly have been more successful. Some called it boring, others said it was too predictable but one thing that everyone could agree on last year was that Bulls were at times unbeatable. The start of the 2012 season has been quite different though, with three different race winners and three different constructors crossing the line first in the opening races. None of which was a Red Bull. Marko believes that this year's regulations - which dispensed with blown diffusers and made front-wing tests stricter - were done in order to hamper Red Bull. "Sebastian Vettel needs a car in which certain conditions are met - and our car doesn't have these," Marko has been quoted as telling ServusTV. "We have a car that does not have the superiority which we had last year. This is due to several technical changes that were deliberately enforced against Red Bull. " Despite this notion, Marko insists that the changes in regulation cannot be used as an excuse for the team's poor start to the season. The Austrian added that the situation at the team had affected Vettel's confidence and that he was making uncharacteristic mistakes as a result. http://www.planetf1.com/news/3213/7682566/-Rule-Changes-Made-To-Weaken-Bulls-
