Formula 1 calls off April races in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia due to Iran war
SHANGHAI (AP) --- Formula 1 and its governing body FIA canceled upcoming Grand
Prix races in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia on safety grounds related to the Iran
war.
Both countries have been struck during Iran's response after the United States
and Israel launched a wave of attacks on Iran.
The announcement was made early Sunday morning in Shanghai ahead of the Chinese
Grand Prix.
F1 was due to race in Bahrain on April 12 and in the Saudi Arabian city of
Jeddah on April 19.
