Finnish television broadcaster MTV3 has decided that they will not
be sending their F1 reporting team to Bahrain, despite the FIA’s
announcement that the Bahrain Grand Prix will go ahead next week. MTV3
will instead provide coverage and commentary on the race from Helsinki.
Under normal circumstances, MTV3′s F1 news crew will travel to each
grand prix to cover it live.
“We felt the best alternative was to broadcast from Finland,
although the State Department has softened its travel advisory on
Bahrain. Formula 1 events get so much attention internationally that
the possibility of problems may arise,” said MTV3′s sporting director
Tatu Lehmuskallio.
MTV3 F1 producer Sasha Ikonen admits that the team were in a
difficult position because for this year’s F1 coverage, a lot of effort
is put into the pre-race show, which is broadcasted from the paddock.
“It’s too bad that we will have to settle for more limited coverage
now, because Kimi’s (Raikkonen) return has dramatically increased the
interest in Formula 1. However, we did not want to risk the safety of
our staff”, said Ikonen.
