After the Formula 1 teams decided to boycott Bahrain again, Ecclestone said he cannot stop the teams from backing out of the upcoming Bahrain Grand Prix as the recent raging protests continue to flare up around Manama and on Monday seven policeman were injured by a home-made bomb as a protest calling for the release of an activist on a two-month hunger strike turned violent.
Ecclestone said, "We've no way we can force people to go there. We can't say 'you've got to go' - although they would be in breach of their agreement with us if they didn't go - but it doesn't help. Commercially they have to go, but whether they decide to or not is up to them. I've had no one say anything other than 'we're going to be racing in Bahrain'."
