LONDON - Bahrain has until May to decide whether the country's postponed Formula One Grand Prix can be rescheduled this year, the sport's governing body said on Tuesday.
"The World Motor Sport Council asked the Bahrain Motor Federation to communicate by May 1st at the latest if the Bahrain Grand Prix can be organised in 2011," the International Automobile Federation (FIA) said.
The race, originally scheduled for the Sakhir circuit this weekend, would have been the season-opener but was called off due to unrest in the Gulf kingdom.
