Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Formula One Grands ?Prix are expected to be
cancelled over the weekend due to the conflict in the Middle East.
Ahead of a March 20th deadline for freight needing to be transported
to Bahrain for logistical reasons, Reuters is reporting based on
sources that a cancellation of the races is a matter of time.
Strikes on middle eastern countries have included BahrainrCOs Manama,
where many team personnel would be likely to stay. Bahrain was
scheduled for April 12th with the Saudi ?race in Jeddah on April 19th.
Neither race is likely to be replaced or rescheduled, ?which would
leave April as an empty month for the ?series and the championship
reduced to 22 rounds.
