Formula 1 has delayed its decision on whether to proceed with the Bahrain Grand Prix on April 12 and the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix on April 19, 2026, due to escalating tensions in the Middle East following U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran and subsequent retaliatory attacks. Officials are monitoring the situation closely, with safety as the top priority. The conflict has already led to travel disruptions and the cancellation of related events at the ongoing Australian Grand Prix.
Construction at Qiddiya Speed Park in Saudi Arabia is advancing rapidly, with fresh images revealing massive support structures for its standout 'Blade' corner. The circuit, designed by Hermann Tilke and Alexander Wurz, promises a unique layout set to host the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix from 2028. Fan reactions highlight both excitement and safety concerns.
