 | Bahrain won't confirm opening race in 2008  Bahrain won't confirm opening race in 2008 Although on Monday the organisers of the Australian Grand Prix announced that they will host their Formula 1 Grand Prix on the 16th of March as the second race on the calendar the organisers of the Bahrain Grand Prix do not want to confirm they open the F1 season in 2008. Martin Whitaker, Chief Executive Officer of the Bahrain International Circuit, said: "Until such time as the official 2008 FIA Formula One World Championship calendar is announced any speculation about the date of next year's Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix has to be discounted. Only when the official calendar is released will the Bahrain International Circuit be in a position to announce the date for the race in 2008." The Kingdom of Bahrain was honoured with staging the opening race of the season in 2006, when the traditional first round host Melbourne had a prior commitment to the Commonwealth Games. Earlier this year Bahrain was able to announce that it had secured a long term agreement with Formula One Management to stage the race at BIC with a contract that will see the Bahain Grand Prix being staged until deep into the next decade.
