Tweets of the Week - Standing up and being counted - Sergio Pérez is on the mend, whilst Marussia get a reserve
Published by Christine
As F1 headed into a rare weekend off, there were other sports to pay attention - including tennis, MotoGP and the preparations for Le Mans. However, a key decision regarding the F1 calendar was made, and reactions poured in. Mark Webber appeared to be the only one who was ready to stand up and be counted, but it remains to be seen whether others will follow in his footsteps.
Week Ending: 6th June 2011
1. Not one to keep quiet on the important issues, Webber talks Bahrain before the decision, and blogged about it afterwards.
When people in a country are being hurt, the issues are bigger than sport. Let's hope the right decision is made..
