 | If the races in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia are cancelled, F1 will not be able to replace them with other Grands Prix (Adam Cooper)7-06-2026 |
Races in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia will almost certainly be cancelled. Formula 1 will almost certainly be unable to find alternatives to races in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia if the events are forced to be cancelled.
Due to the military conflict in the Middle East, holding the Grand Prix in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia is not possible at the moment.
According to Adam Cooper, citing sources in the paddock, championship participants understand that both Grands Prix will be cancelled, although F1 and the FIA so far only note that they continue to closely monitor developments.
The stages in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia are scheduled to take place on April 10-12 and April 17-19, respectively. At the same time, Formula 1 will need to decide on further actions in the next 10 days - since the teams will need to start sending the equipment necessary for the Grand Prix to Bahrain and Saudi Arabia during this time.
At the same time, sources in the paddock admit that it is almost impossible to organize alternative races in such a short time.
As a result, there will almost certainly be a month-long break in the championship in April. After a weekend in Japan on March 27-29, the next Grand Prix will be held in Miami on May 1-3.
