Formula One Fever is gripping Bahrain, writes Bahraini blogger emoodz, who spent an hour on an otherwise 15 minute drive from the monthly blogger's meeting to his house. “Things all started to make sense now, the presence of traffic control policemen at nearly every major intersection till late at night, the dramatic increase in Saudi and Kuwaiti cars all over the island, foreigners speaking languages other than English out loud wherever you go, even the traffic on my blog has tripled for some reason,” he explains.
