Iliana Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 No champagne in Bahrain There's no risk that Jenson Button might choke on a high-powered stream of expensive champagne after this Sunday's inaugural Formula One podium in Bahrain. Race-organisers have requested that, in respect of Islamic law, alcohol and scantily-clad grid-girls should play no part in the running of the Grand Prix. Sparkling-water is the likely fizzy substitute, although when sponsored by a Saudi company in the 80s, Williams' Alan Jones sprayed orange-juice in victory. 'It didn't really matter,' the Australian laughs today. 'You'd still won the race - but it was a bit sticky.' A parliamentarian said celebrations 'must conform' to Bahrain's traditions. Bahrain is one of the more liberal Gulf States, but parliament-speaker Adel Al-Moawada believes citizens 'won't accept' some of Formula One's Western habits.
