( CNN ) -- Former motorsport chief Max Mosley is adamant the re-instated Bahrain Grand Prix will not go ahead because Formula One 's 12 teams are unlikely to ratify the decision . The Gulf kingdom was due to host the opening race of the 2011 season in March but it was postponed because of civil unrest in the country . The body that governs F1 -- the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile ( FIA ) -- unanimously decided to reschedule the race for October 30 , and move the inaugural Indian Grand Prix to December . But Mosley , a former head of the FIA , told CNN any move to change the racing calendar needs the full support of all 12 teams that compete in the sport , and that there are bound to be objections . Bahrain 's F1 race rescheduled for October . Mosley told CNN : `` I 'd be astonished if it happened . I think the decision was the wrong one and I think it is bound to be reversed . I do n't think there 's any chance there will be a Bahrain Grand Prix on October 30 and I think its most unlikely there will be one this year . Webber : F1 wrong to reinstate Bahrain . `` When you 're going to change something in the middle of the season , like the proposal to move the Indian race for example , that needs the unanimous agreement of all the teams . I do n't think there 's the slightest chance of that actually being given . `` The teams have complete power in this particular case because although the governing body can cancel an event for reason of force majeure - as happened in the case of Bahrain -- when you want to put an event on or move an event , that 's a change to the conditions under which the teams entered for the season and that 's like any contract -- you can only change it if both sides agree . `` All 12 teams would have to agree to change the Indian date and go back to Bahrain , so it only takes one team to say ' I do n't agree ' and that 'll be the end of it . It would not be possible for it to happen . '' FIA president Jean Todt and vice-president Carlos Garcia visited Bahrain before announcing their decision , but it drew criticism from The Bahrain Center for Human Rights and current Red Bull driver Mark Webber . The Australian said he thought going back to Bahrain would only cause more tension . `` Like it or not , F1 and sport in general is n't above having a social responsibility and conscience , '' he told his personal web site . Mosley said there would be no long term damage done to Formula One if the move was swiftly scrapped . If it was n't , protests could ensue , he suggested . `` I think if it gets reversed quickly and people understand what is going on in Bahrain and act accordingly , I do n't think it will do any damage at all , it will just show a mistake was made that was quickly put right , '' he told CNN . `` If F1 were to persist in the idea of having a race in October I think it would do enormous damage because I think there would be protests at European and other races , some of the sponsors would come under pressure from their customers and therefore put the teams under pressure . `` I think it would be very difficult to predict how far it would go . On top of that I think there 's a high likelihood , I think Mark Webber 's right , you 'd have some really unfortunate incident when the race took place . Happily , I think that 's academic . `` It would be contrary to the rules , contrary to article 66 of the international sporting code , it would , apart from any other consideration , send a completely wrong message about what F1 is there for and what our sport is all about . '' Mosley even suggested next year 's race in Bahrain could be in jeopardy if problems persist . Next year : `` They must be given a chance but I do n't think anybody would want to go there when people are in prison without trial , when doctors and nurses have been arrested simply for treating injured people , '' he said . `` All of those things are very disagreeable . We have to wait and see how things develop and not pre-judge it . ''
