This is serious. Now it’s hitting the ultra-wealthy right in the Prix.

Do House of Saud royalty still get free gas?

It must be cheaper than dirt within Qatar and the UAE right now, because most if it can’t leave.

Have you seen the price of gas?

Also, Iran has been striking at neighbouring countries, including UAE and Saudi Arabia, and not limited to the military. US owned, or related, assets are juicy targets.

Logistics in the whole region is a hot mess, and holding 2 racing events with the size and viewership of F1 would not only be impossible to organise, but more importantly, do you really want to host such events in the middle of an active war zone and tempt fate?
