Formula 1 considers cancelling Bahrain and Saudi Arabia races
Reports indicate F1 is exploring alternative options for its Bahrain and Saudi Arabian events due to heightened tensions in the Middle East. While April’s races remain on the calendar, security chiefs are scrutinising the regional climate. With a view to flexibility, logistical activities are on hold, and European tracks including Imola and Portimão are being internally reviewed as potential alternatives. Officials are prioritising personnel safety, weighing up whether the Gulf legs can realistically proceed or if a return to European soil is the only viable solution.
