LONDON: The fate of the Bahrain Grand Prix looked uncertain Tuesday after Formula One teams opposed a decision to reschedule the postponed race and commercial supremo Bernie Ecclestone suggested a fresh vote. Max Mosley, former head of the governing International Automobile Federation (FIA) and a long-time Ecclestone ally, also weighed in by saying the calendar could not be changed without the written agreement of all the teams and hopes of holding the Grand Prix this year looked doomed. The FIA said Friday that its world motor sport council had agreed Bahrain, scheduled as the season-opener in March but called off due to unrest, would take India's place on Oct. 30. The inaugural New Delhi event was moved to a date yet to be agreed as the last race of the season in December. “Until the written agreement of the teams is forthcoming, you can't actually change the date. It can't be done,” Mosley, an expert on the sport's statutes after repeated battles of his own with the teams, told BBC radio. Ecclestone told the Times newspaper that it would be better to move Bahrain to the end of the season and leave India where it had been.
