Bernie Ecclestone has confirmed he is ready to open negotiations to extend Bahrain's Formula 1 contract by a further five years.
However, despite the Bahrain race being set to celebrate its first decade on the calendar next year, the race continues to pull in relatively few spectators with The Times' Kevin Eason reporting that only 28,000 people turned up for the country's showcase international event this year. Alongside former Williams CEO Adam Parr, Eason will be a guest on this week's Sky Sports Online's F1 Midweek Report to discuss all the main talking points following the Bahrain GP and the state of play in the title race ahead of the European season.
