The Saudi Arabian Grand Prix was cancelled in earlier this season
Formula 1 teams are not happy with plans to reschedule the Saudi Arabian GP due to logistical concerns and strain on event organization. The proposed date change follows cancellations in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia in April, reducing the season from 24 to 22 races. Saudi authorities are advocating for a new race date in the latter half of the season, between the events in Las Vegas and Qatar, despite opposition from top teams like Mercedes. Concerns also arise over the uncertainty surrounding the planned season finale races in Qatar and Abu Dhabi, amidst regional instability. While Saudi officials insist on Jeddah’s security, past incidents like the 2022 rocket attack raise doubts about holding the race safely.
