Christian Horner says that Formula 1 teams have faith in the FIA to make the right decision in regard to the Bahrain GP.
A year on from the cancellation of the 2011 race because of the political unrest in the Gulf kingdom, there are no plans in place as yet to shelve this year’s version. It is currently scheduled to take place on April 22, as the fourth race of the current campaign.
Bernie Ecclestone this week said that no concerns exist despite tensions still remaining high in Bahrain, and Horner says that his team – and as far as he knows the others – are willing to go with the official line.
"As far as I'm aware, we're definitely going," Horner was quoted as saying by Reuters on Friday.
"We rely on the FIA, it's the FIA Formula 1 world championship, and Bahrain is one of the races on the calendar.
"They are far better placed to know what the issues are, and we trust their judgement, as we do the promoter, and we'll see how things develop.
"As of today there's a race committed to Bahrain, and therefore we'll be there."
