LONDON: The Bahrain Grand Prix could be re-scheduled at the end of the year after Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone ruled out an August date Thursday. “August — forget. Too hot. Too hot for the public to sit in the grandstand, it's 40-odd degrees,” the 80-year-old Briton told the BBC. Bahrain's Sakhir circuit had been due to open the season on March 13 but the race was called off due to unrest in the Kingdom. The season will now start in Australia on March 27. He suggested it was most likely to be slotted in at the end of the season.
