Race Cancellation

The cancellation of Bahrain and Jeddah grands prix due to the Iran war has created a five-week gap between Suzuka and Miami rounds. Red Bull views the break as a mixed bag, offering upgrade time but hindering engine development. Aston Martin sees both positives and negatives amid its power unit issues.

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.
