Force India driver German Nico Hulkenberg yesterday said it was &ldquo;not right&rdquo; that members of his team had been close to an exploding firebomb &mdash; but added he felt safe in Bahrain ahead of this weekend&rsquo;s controversial Bahrain Grand Prix. <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2012/apr/hulk.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 711px; " /> Furious:u00a0Sahara Force India&rsquo;s German driver Nico Hulkenberg A 4x4 hire car without branding, carrying four Force India mechanics, was in traffic that was caught up accidentally in a clash between protesters and police on the motorway from the circuit at Sakhir back to the capital Manama on Wednesday night.

Pic/AFP It has meant there is an uneasy air within Force India as this is the first incident to directly affect a team. Hulkenberg, 24, said he lamented the incident, but added that F1 was only in the Gulf state to deliver a sporting event, a race, and not to cause problems. He told reporters at the circuit: &ldquo;It is obviously not right that that sort of stuff happens. &ldquo;We are here to race. The F1 business is about entertainment, and these sorts of things should not really be happening to us. Whether it is right or not, I don&rsquo;t really know. It&rsquo;s difficult to say. I am not a politician, I am a Formula 1 driver. &ldquo;But it should not really be happening should it? It is not good that we have to worry about it &mdash; but that is the way it is now so let&rsquo;s see and hope that the rest of the weekend is good and calm.&rdquo; Asked if he personally felt safe and secure, he said: &ldquo;Yes, I feel okay, yeah.&rdquo;u00a0
