Formula 2 Races Threatened by Middle East Conflict
9 Mar
Summary
- Formula 2 may seek alternative venues if races are cancelled.
- A decision on Middle East races could precede Formula One's.
- Standalone European races are possible with proper infrastructure.
Formula 2, a support series for Formula One, is considering alternative venues for its upcoming races in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, which are scheduled for next month. These events face potential cancellation due to escalating regional conflict. If the Middle Eastern rounds are indeed called off, Formula 2 could be left without a scheduled race until Monaco in early June.
Sources suggest that a standalone European event might be organized to fill the gap, provided a suitable circuit with the necessary timing infrastructure is available. However, no definitive decision has been made, and there is no immediate consensus among stakeholders. Formula One itself is expected to delay its decision on the Bahrain and Saudi Arabia races as long as possible.
