FIA extends Bahrain deadline until June

Bahrain has been given another month to propose the rescheduling of its postponed 2011 grand prix. A firm November date has been earmarked for a rescheduled Bahrain grand prix in 2011, according to the latest rumour.

The FIA's May 1 deadline came and went amid Bernie Ecclestone saying the island Kingdom, who pay a reported $40 million fee per year for the F1 race, should be given more time to overcome its civil problems.
