Once again Formula 1 stands on the cusp of a 'should it; should it not?' question, in this case whether the sport should race in the troubled Black Sea region given the hostilities existent between Russia and Ukraine.
Certain sections of F1's media have even called upon the FIA to cancel the sport's inaugural Russian Grand Prix.
True, a lot of the 'noise' about racing in conflict regions has been suppressed by Jules Bianchi's horrifying accident, but still Fleet Street publications (and many of their foreign language equivalents) have remained rather stumm recently - particularly in view of their regular outbursts over Bahrain, when some embarked on Rambo-style surveillance operations.
