relating to the problems at Bahrain, in the Dutch magazine 'Formule 1' FOTA principal Martin Whitmarsh said the biggest dangers in the countries are the following:

Australia: hole in the ozon layer
Malaysia: tropical heat
China: air pollution
Bahrain: riots
Spain: ETA
Monaco: Occupy
Canada: seperatists Quebec
Europe: boredom
Britain: hooligans
Germany: fired workmen
Hungary: prostitutes
Belgium: bad roads
Italy: maffia
Singapore: electricity shortage
Japan: earthquakes
South Korea: problems with its northern neighbour
india: traffic unsafety
Abu Dhabi: economical crisis
America: Terrorist attacks
Brazil: criminality

some of these make sense, some of them made me smile...

True. Belgian roads are in worse condition than in Afghanistan after the VS paid a visit.

If Whitmarsh thinks the roads in Belgium are bad, he's going to hate coming to New Jersey then.

I know, me too. Whitmarsh probably just wants to be punctual.

They always say year after year the most dangerous part of china is getting from the airport to the track due to some of the dodgy driving on display from others on the roads and even taxi/courtesy car drivers themselves.

Surprised that didn't get a mention

Also no "don't drink the water" references to India? Strange!

I would guess the terrorists, but they've been on truce for a while now.

Quebec separatists made me laugh even harder. Watch out for Mäth people, he's even more dangerous than the Basques.
