C4 news isn't very complimentary about the regime. The race going ahead isn't helping them sweep it under the carpet.

Prince Salman has a home counties accent. Time for him to come home?

Agreed, the race should go ahead. F1 drivers should be able negotiate riots.

The whole race could be run behind the safety tank.

Something like that. Heard one of the F1 lot commenting that risk wise Brazil is no better than Bahrain.

Didn’t a driver nearly get kidnapped in Brazil last year after the race?

It could happen in any place in the world really, getting caught up in a riot or a fight or anything.

Wouldn't happen in London. Oh wait

They weren't targeted. They just happened to be there. I think it's unfortunate. It's an issue of timing. It could happen in any place in the world really, getting caught up in a riot or a fight or anything.

Spoken after some F1 mechanics had petrol bombs thrown at their car.

Quality stuff.
