Mark Webber insists the Bahrain Grand Prix should be called off if the political unrest which is gripping the Arab state is not resolved.

The Red Bull driver said: 'When you hear of people losing their lives, this is a tragedy.

'It's probably not the best time to go there for a sporting event. They have bigger things, bigger priorities.

'In the end the right decisions will be made. Maybe it is still the first race, maybe Melbourne is the first race, we don't know.

'It's not a big deal to be honest because there are more things than Formula 1 in Bahrain.

'They have bigger things, bigger priorities and that is what they want to work on over there, generations of issues.

'That's the most important thing for them to sort out and not to worry about Formula 1.'

Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone has stated he will leave the decision about whether to call off the season opener to Bahrain's crown prince, Sheikh Salman bin Hamad al-Khalifah.
