Red Bull doesn’t seem overly happy with the decision to return to Bahrain as part of the 2011 Formula 1 World Championship.
The team offered up a rather subdued and short statement which says they will discuss the matter internally within FOTA.
“Red Bull Racing has acknowledged the FIA World Motor Sport Council’s decision to go ahead with the 2011 Bahrain Grand Prix,” it read.
“We will go through the correct channels and discuss this decision within the appropriate forum with the other F1 teams and our fellow FOTA members.”
The rather brief statement offers a subliminal hint that the outfit doesn’t support a return to the gulf state which, just a few days ago, was under a state of emergency which was lifted, coincidentally, as the FIA made their ruling.
The Williams outfit threatened to boycott the event if it went ahead in March as planned, whilst there are no current plans to do the same, it can’t be ruled out if FOTA feel strongly about the integrity of the sport.
