FIA President Johnny Death gives thumbs up to Bahrain Formula One race

Johnny Death, aka Jean Todt, has apparently given the green light to next week's F-1 circus in Bahrain.

I've been following F-1 since that Surtees fellow was world champ on the two wheelers and the four wheelers.

That's never happened again.

And I've never heard of Johnny Death till today.

All along I've been under the impression that Big Bernie calls the shots in F-1.

That would be Bernie Ecclestone, the guy who built Grand Prix racing from a money-losing sideline to a billion dollar industry.

Bernie's website assures me that Jean Todt has consulted all the relevant stakeholders in Bahrain, including the Shia opposition, and everybody is gung-ho for the Grand Prix.

If that's true maybe we won't get to see Lewis Hamilton running over that IED after all.
