F1 moves to rubbish Abu Dhabi cancellation rumours amid Israel-Hamas war
Social media had be💖en awash with rumours that “safety fears” in the region and further escalation of the conflict could result in the race being c🅺alled off.
But F1 has rejected such claims, making 🐲it clear the race, scheduled for November 26, is not in anꦰy sort of doubt.
The rumours are believed to have been triggered by a UK foreign office update on Sunday which advised British nationals to be wary that the “risk of terrorist attacks happening in the UAE is veꦰry likely”. The update was not 🐻in relation to the Gaza conflict.
This brings the UAE in line with other countries su🍌ch as Germany, France, Belgium and Bahrain, whiꦫch F1 has raced in under the same FCDO guidance for several years.
F1 teams and team principals have been briefed that there is “no risk” to t🍸he Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
