Fia's statements on bahrain race reschedule

Formula One's governing body, the FIA, have refused to be drawn on when a decision will be taken over the future of the Bahrain Grand Prix.

It was reported on Monday that the deadline over the decision, originally set for yesterday, had been moved forward 24 hours.

When asked if the deadline had been moved, an FIA spokeswoman said: "As far as the FIA is concerned we do not have any information.

there will be a race in bahrain or not....Read out.....

Organisers of the Bahrain GP continue to live in hope that the race can take place later this year after the FIA granted an extended deadline to determine if a new date can be set.

Motor sport's governing body confirmed on Monday that organisers now have until June 3 - the date of the next FIA World Motor Sport Council meeting in Barcelona - to prove that it can safely stage the event.

The Gulf Kingdom was originally pencilled in to host the opening grand prix of the 2011 season on March 13, but the race was postponed in February due to the civil unrest in the country.

The FIA originally announced a May 1 deadline to determine if the event could be rescheduled for later this year, but revealed on Monday that the deadline has been extended by a month.

Bernie and FIA at odds over renewal date of Behrain

Bernie Ecclestone and the FIA appear to be at odds over the deadline for a final decision on whether or not the Bahrain GP will be rescheduled.

The Gulf country was due to host the 2011 season opener on March 13, but the race was cancelled due to the ongoing political unrest.

F1's governing body originally told organisers they had until May 1 to decide whether the race could be rescheduled but Ecclestone on Thursday promised to give them until "early June or something like that".
