A host of Formula 1 teams are reportedly expecting this month's Bahrain Grand Prix to be called off due to security concerns in the Persian Gulf island state.
There have been rumours that the competition could face a similar fate to that of last year's, which was cancelled due to protests in the area.
While the Formula 1 Teams Association recently admitted that the decision is out of their hands, it is thought that a number of the teams believe that the fourth race of the season will be called off, according to BBC Sport.
Meanwhile, the Bahrain International Circuit yesterday dismissed rumours that the Grand Prix would not go ahead.
