Formula One Cancels April Middle East Races
2 Formula One races in the Middle East have been cancelled. Bahrain's race was set for April 12.
Saudi Arabia's race was set for April 19. The cancellations happened due to ongoing war involving Iran.
Bahrain's circuit sits about 20 miles from a targeted United States military base. This raised safety concerns.
The cancelled races are unlikely to be replaced due to logistics. The 2026 Formula One calendar now has 22 races.
Klear Note — Formula One is the world's top car racing sport. The season runs yearly with races in different countries. Safety concerns led to these cancellations.
