Two Formula 1 racing series, namely the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, have the potential to be canceled due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, according to a report from The Athletic which obtained information from several sources whose identities were kept secret.
If the decision is officially announced, it will create a 35-day gap in the Formula One racing calendar between the Japanese GP on March 29 and the Miami GP on May 3.
while the Saudi Arabian round was scheduled for April 19.
The Athletic reports that the decision was prompted by the escalation of conflict in the Middle East since late February, which has resulted in travel restrictions and logistical issues for racing teams.
