Formula 1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone says the protests in Bahrain have nothing to do with F1.
He suggests it may be "a little bit silly" to put the race on and give the protestors "such an incredible platform" to talk to the world's media.
Ecclestone adds that he would he happy to accompany any nervous teams in their vehicles on the way back to their hotels, without any extra security, this evening.

What a bummer for Michael Schumacher.
"I am obviously very disappointed to have qualified in 18th position on the grid for a race which looks to be quite competitive for us. Unfortunately on my fast lap, which was looking quite good, my DRS broke in the last sector. We tried to fix it in the garage but were not able to go out again. Trying for a lap without DRS on different tyres would not have made sense. We now have to try to see what we can do from here and push as much as possible."
