Formula 1 bosses are said to be ‘monitoring’ the situation surrounding this week’s Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, following a recent missile attack on Jeddah. This comes after an Aramco fuel plant in the city was recently hit.
As well as this, Reuters had reported that Saudi state media had revealed that a ‘hostile air target’ had been intercepted by a Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen, which was said to be targeted at the city hosting Sunday’s second race of the F1 season.
This came after a spokesman from The Arab Coalition revealed they had: “destroyed 106 explosive-laden boats that posed a threat to the freedom of navigation in the southern Red Sea," per Al Arabiya English. It was also reported that Saudi Arabia's Air Defence Forces had intercepted and destroyed nine drones.
