As free practice 2 gets under way, Force India has announced that they will not be participating due to safety concerns.
The team has chosen to abandon the practice session so that they can leave the circuit before dark.
Force India have already been involved in an incident when their car was hit by petrol bombs, which is likely to have prompted the team to leave early today.
Stay tuned for full Bahrain Free Practice 2 results.
