Race Cancellation

Formula 1 is expected to announce within 48 hours whether to cancel its Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix scheduled for April, due to escalating conflict in the Middle East. The decision follows a 10-day deadline set after talks at the Australian Grand Prix, driven by logistical challenges from the ongoing US and Israeli war on Iran. Both races are likely to be axed, creating a six-week gap in the 2026 calendar.
