Bahrein e Arábia Saudita ainda podem sediar grandes prêmios de F1 em 2026

A Fórmula 1 está explorando opções para reprogramar os grandes prêmios do Bahrein e da Arábia Saudita para o final da temporada de 2026, após o adiamento de seus eventos em abril devido ao conflito regional.

O adiamento criou uma lacuna de um mês no calendário e gerou desafios logísticos para a segunda metade do ano. O CEO da Liberty Media, Derek Chang, afirmou que a categoria está trabalhando para recuperar pelo menos uma corrida, observando que pode ser possível realizar o reagendamento para o final da temporada, entre Baku e Singapura.
