Teams all back F1’s decision to continue with Saudi GP
They left "after nearby missile strike" out of this headline.
Earlier today, during a practice session, an Armanco (F1 title sponsor) facility was hit by a missile attack from Houthi rebels. I was sure they would cancel the race and pack up immediately but apparently they decided to resume. This article claims a unanimous decision but it sounds like many drivers were against this. And it just get worse...
Essentially the Saudi Arabia authorities believe the Houthi attacks are only targeting infrastructure and specifically Aramco facilities, leaving the grand prix safe – although it is believed to have a missile defence system in place as well.
Missile defense? At a sporting event?! Stay safe.
