As Middle East tensions intensify following US and Israeli strikes on Iran, Formula 1 is unlikely to find last-minute substitutes for the threatened Bahrain (April 12) and Saudi Arabian (April 19) Grands Prix, prioritizing safety over maintaining a full 24-race calendar despite teams' revenue concerns. This follows earlier disruptions including a cancelled Pirelli test and travel chaos.
The futures of the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix remain in doubt due to the ongoing Middle East crisis. Organizers in Jeddah are pushing to keep the Saudi race on the Formula 1 calendar, but discussions suggest outright cancellation is likely. Formula 1 is monitoring the situation closely as a decision deadline approaches.
