F1 CEO: ‘There Will Be No More Racing In Russia’

Formula One has no plans to race in Russia, CEO Stefano Domenicali said to Sport Bild magazine. 

Six months ago, the country invaded Ukraine, killing more than 5,500 civilians and injuring more than 7,800 as of the United Nations’ Aug. 22 update. A day after the invasion, F1 announced “it is impossible to hold the Russian Grand Prix in the current circumstances.”

A week later, Formula One confirmed it “terminated” its contract with the promoter of the Russian Grand Prix. This came after the governing body of Formula One announced that the reason for canceling the event was because of “force majeure.”
