Ralf Schumacher has condemned the decision to proceed with the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix saying Formula 1 should “pack up and leave”.
The Grand Prix weekend was thrown into uncertainty yesterday following a missile attack on a nearby oil facility in Jeddah during the opening practice session. The day continued with the second practice, which was delayed, as the plumes of smoke remained visible in the sky from the impact zone.
After extensive talks between organisers and drivers that went long into the night, it was eventually announced the Grand Prix would go ahead as planned. However, it was reported by BBC Sport that drivers and teams were ‘handed a warning’ about the consequences of the race not proceeding.
