has moved to dismiss speculation that the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix could be cancelled amid the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas.
Social media had been awash with rumours that “safety fears” in the region and further escalation of the conflict could result in the race being called off. But F1 has rejected such claims, making it clear the race, scheduled for November 26, is not in any sort of doubt. The rumours are believed to have been triggered by a UK foreign office update on Sunday which advised British nationals to be wary that the “risk of terrorist attacks happening in the UAE is very likely”. The update was not in relation to the Gaza conflict.
This brings the UAE in line with other countries such as Germany, France, Belgium and Bahrain, which F1 has raced in under the same FCDO guidance for several years.Related Articles
