I remember hearing two sides of the story when the Bahrain race was added to the calender. The one I stuck to was the return to the Middle East GP, because, as the article points out, they used to be held at Casablanca. But on race day the announcers only spoke of the "historical first GP in the Middle East." I was a little confused, at least the article cleared it up.
