F1's Middle East dilemma: to cancel Qatar and Abu Dhabi races amid conflict?
Formula 1's own deadline for a decision on Qatar and Abu Dhabi has already passed. Is it really planning to try and race in the Middle East?
Ahead of this weekend’s Indian Grand Prix Vodafone sat Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button down to talk about the race. The two Mclaren drivers also discuss the Korean Grand Prix and how much the 2011 McLaren has been developed over the season.

What do we think? Will the Indian Grand Prix become one of the highlights on the Formula 1 calendar? Judging by the enthusiasm for the sport in the country it’s going to make a pleasant change from some of the less well-attended Grands Prix.
