We thank Formula 1 and the FIA for prioritising safety and support the decision taken. Decisions like this are never easy, and we now hope for a swift resolution to the conflict and that we can return to racing in the region in the near future.
Our thoughts are with everyone in these regions, including the many friends and colleagues who may be affected.
Following the news and the difficult decision made by F1, FIA and the promoters, I truly hope that this conflict comes to an end as soon as possible and that everyone stays safe. Racing in the Middle East is always special and I hope we can return to the region as soon as circumstances allow.
