Anonymous announced in a press released that it carried out the hack to draw attention to the "incredible human rights abuses of the Bahrain regime" and called the upcoming Grand Prix Formula One race "despicable". The internet attack comes just hours after tens of thousands of people took to the streets of Bahrain to protest this weekend's Formula One race.
The attack on Formula One's Web site could be just the tip of the iceberg for Anonymous as the group has pledged to "wreck anything else of yours we can find on the internet."
Anonymous is calling for drivers to boycott this weekend's race, but so far we've yet to hear of anyone planning to do so.
