Formula 1 is expected to cancel races next month in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia due to safety reasons as a military conflict grows in the Middle East, sources familiar with the matter told NBC News.
F1 had scheduled a race in Bahrain for April 12 and another in Saudi Arabia on April 19, two mainstays on the calendar for years.
But the war launched by the United States and Israel on Iran has spread across the region and into those two countries, creating major security concerns and uncertainty about whether traveling or racing there will be safe.
The news was first reported Friday by Sky Sports, which said the cancellation could be announced by the end of this weekend. It would cut the number of race weekends this year from 24 to 22.
A Formula 1 spokesperson declined to comment.
