Missile strikes in the Middle East have created uncertainty over the upcoming F1 races.
F1 is currently monitoring the situation in the Middle East after drone and missile strikes were carried out this weekend. A joint US-Israel military operation attacked Iran amid growing tensions. The conflict spread to nearby regions, with reports of a missile hitting Bahrain. The US Navy’s 5th Fleet service center was hit in the attack, creating uncertainty for upcoming races. Bahrain will host the fourth round this year, followed by Saudi Arabia one week later. F1 will kick off the season in Australia, with China and Japan to follow, closely monitoring the situation as always. The sport has faced similar challenges in the past, such as during the 2022 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix and the Qatar Grand Prix amidst regional tensions.
