Bahrain isn't quite the same as the UAE. ALL of the money in Bahrain remains with the Royal family - similar to what goes on in Saudi. Everyone assumes that Arabs are all extremely wealthy when the truth is that they're really not. The UAE is slightly different: the Emirati's are all paid a salary of between €6-9k per month. If they work, then they're paid ridiculously inflated salaries for the work that they actually do.
Attending Formula 1 isn't something that's an option for the average Bahraini.
