Formula 1 drivers are set to ask for more power and input when it comes to where the sport races following the controversial Saudi Arabian Grand Prix last weekend.
As the opening practice session took place at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit - hosting its second Grand Prix after the inaugural race last year - on Friday, a missile struck a nearby Aramco oil facility reportedly just seven miles away from the track. Yemen’s Houthi rebel group have since taken responsibility and claimed to be behind the attack.
The racing action continued during second practice, although the start was delayed. Following the session, drivers and team principals met with F1 bosses Stefano Domenicali and Ross Brawn to discuss the issue at hands.
