Bahrain Grand Prix chairman Zayed Alzayani has lambasted the Formula One teams for their attitude towards the Bahrain race.
The 2011 edition of the race was supposed to be the season opener, but was postponed due to unrest in the Arab nation.
The grand prix was later reinstated to the calendar only for the race to be officially called off for the year after the team's expressed a reluctance to attend the event amidst outcry from human rights organisations.
Alzayani has hit out at the teams, claiming that if they stayed away from races because of human rights issues they would have to scrap most of the calendar.
"They're going to the US next year," Alzayani told the London Evening Standard.
"What about Guantanamo? Isn't that human rights violation? As Bernie [Ecclestone] told me, 'If human rights was the criterion for F1 races, we would only have them in Belgium and Switzerland in the future'.
"They [the teams] have been very temperamental. I feel disappointed because it cannot go within three months from one end of the spectrum, 'Oh, you are my favourite destination. We love it here. We feel like we are at home in Bahrain.' To the other, 'We don't want to go to Bahrain.' Yes, events have happened in between but you can't be so temperamental."
Former FIA president Max Mosley was heavily critical of the World Motorsport Council's decision to reinstate the race, questioning whether the report from fact finder Carlos Garcia which gave the race the green light was a credible article considering its limitations.
The Briton slammed the FIA for sending "very, very nice man called Gracia, [who] speaks no English and, as far as I know, speaks no Arabic," to Bahrain.
"That shows you how naive Max Mosley is," said Alzayani.
"There were translators there. I don't have to speak Chinese to do business in China. Max is very vocal and not accurate. He talks about morality - if I was him, I would probably not use the word 'morality'.
"I think Max has a grudge against Bahrain because he was officially asked by the Crown Prince not to attend the grand prix."
Alzayani also insisted that Ecclestone's backing of the event had nothing to do with the F1 supremo potentially losing millions of dollars in revenue.
"It was a unanimous vote of all the 26 World Council members. Bernie voted for it. On the June 8, I met him here in London," he explained.
"He said, 'There is resistance from the teams but if you want I'll push for it. We'll get it sorted.' He even gave us the option of holding it on December 4. This was never about Bernie losing money by not having a race in Bahrain," he added.
