BARCELONA, Spain – Formula One said it is “closely watching the very fluid developments” in Ukraine but is yet to make a decision on what to do about September’s Russian Grand Prix.
Russia’s military launched a long-feared invasion of Ukraine early Thursday, attacking its ex-Soviet neighbour from multiple directions despite warnings of dire consequences from the international community. Thursday’s attacks followed weeks of escalating tensions in the region.
The Russian GP is set to take place on September 25 at the Sochi Autodrom.
A Formula One statement said: “Formula One is closely watching the very fluid developments like many others and at this time has no further comment on the race scheduled for September. We will continue to monitor the situation very closely.”
F1 boss Stefano Domenicali will meet with the 10 team bosses on Thursday evening to discuss the situation.
