The decision of whether or not the Bahrain Grand Prix goes ahead is that of the Crown Prince, says Bernie Ecclestone.
The 80-year-old has decided it would be best if Sheikh Salman bin Hamad al-Khalifa makes the decision, as he is the one with the best view of ongoings in his country.
“He will decide whether it’s safe for us to be there,” Ecclestone told the BBC. “I’ve no idea. I’m not there, so I don’t know.”
The F1 supremo stressed he wouldn’t send teams there if it wasn’t safe to do so.
“We won’t advise people to go unless it’s safe. Let’s hope it’ll be all right,” he concluded.
A decision is expected on Tuesday, though it has been reported that one team will boycott the race if it does go ahead as planned.
