Formula One made a decision concerning September's Russian Grand Prix following the country's military invading Ukraine.
“We are watching the developments in Ukraine with sadness and shock and hope for a swift and peaceful resolution to the present situation,” a statement said. “On Thursday evening Formula 1, the FIA, and the teams discussed the position of our sport, and the conclusion is, including the view of all relevant stakeholders, that it is impossible to hold the Russian Grand Prix in the current circumstances.”
The 10 F1 bosses held a meeting with Formula One CEO Stefano Domenicali on Thursday evening to discuss the matter as the situation in Ukraine continued to escalate. The statement, though, seems to leave some room in case circumstances change, and Rosgonki, the race sponsor, hinted at this possibility in a statement of their own.
