Gulf crisis likely sinks F1 Bahrain and Saudi races
TL;DR
F1 is expected to cancel the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix after a logistics deadline amid escalating Middle East tensions; replacing them with European rounds isn’t considered feasible, leaving a six‑week gap in the calendar and a likely hit to revenue, though the season would still meet the minimum race count. An official decision was anticipated within 48 hours.
