The organisers of the Bahrain GP are keen to see F1 return to their circuit, however, are not sure if it will be this season.
The Bahrain GP was scheduled to take place in March but was postponed after political unrest swept through the island kingdom.
And although Bernie Ecclestone is determined to give the country until "early June or something like that" to resolve their issues, the Bahrain organisers concede their first priority must be to resolve the political issues within the country.
"We gratefully acknowledge the understanding of Formula One Management and the FIA in what have been difficult times," Bahrain International Circuit chairman Zayed Rashid Alzayani said in a statement.
