An escalating conflict in the Middle East has caused uncertainty over upcoming races in both Formula 1 and the World Endurance Championship (WEC).
FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem has issued a statement addressing the escalating conflict in the Middle East involving missile strikes and retaliation across various countries.
The situation has already resulted in the cancellation of a Pirelli test in Bahrain and has left some employees stranded due to airspace and airport closures.
The FIA is monitoring the situation closely as the FIA World Endurance Championship and Formula 1 seasons are scheduled to take place in affected areas in the upcoming months.
Ben Sulayem has called for a swift return to stability, emphasizing the importance of dialogue, protection of civilians, and the well-being of all involved parties.
The FIA is in contact with stakeholders and will prioritize safety and well-being in decision-making regarding the upcoming events in the region.
Ben Sulayem underscored the significance of unity during this challenging time, expressing solidarity and support for those impacted by the conflict.
