At least some people in Bahrain(sp) are rioting over it. I heard that F! cancelled practice on one day. I guess there may be other reason behind the riots.

If they didn't riot over F1, they'd be rioting over the color of Skittles. Those dudes just like to street party.

THey didn't cancel practice. ONE team, skipped FP2.

Force India still ran FP1 and will run FP3, quali and the race.

I don't think they have an issue with the race. Being ruled by (what is basically) a dictator...

That's what happens when the small minority holds all the positions of power in the gov't and actively discriminates against the majority.

Which dictator?

Bahrain's? Or F1's?

Here's some good news, the F1 event seems to have brought the protesters' cause to the spotlight instead of glossing over it:
