It's not just about the danger to the F1 fans and personnel who will be going to Bahrain. It's about taking a stand, in a very small but significant way, for democracy. We cannot accept this tyranny. I'm looking forward to the season opener more than anyone else, but I will not watch the race.

I agree that if anyone goes to the Grand Prix in Bahrain, even though the blood will not be visible they will be wading through it and as guilty as the people who pulled the triggers. How can anyone consider having the appearance of taking sides with a regime that commits such blatant acts of terror and atrocity against their own people? The rulers of this peace loving country are Shamed before all humanity and their crimes are against all humanity.
@Katy. Okay, so now there are two people who will be boycotting.
I really hope Bernie cancels the race. He has the final say, right?
