Russian Grand Prix Called Off by Formula One After Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine
This comes after Russian President Vladimir Putin attacked Ukraine and forcefully entered the country's borders, leading an invasion of the country. A day ago, former world champion Sebastian Vettel had raised a voice against this and had said he would opt out of the Russian Grand Prix if it went ahead.
The Russian Grand Prix, slated to be held this year, has been called off by Formula One with regard to the country's invasion of Ukraine. Russia have launched a full-scale invasion over neighbours Ukraine a day ago. In a statement, F1 stated, "On Thursday evening Formula 1, the FIA, and the teams discussed the position of our sport, and the conclusion is, including the view of all relevant stakeholders, that it is impossible to hold the Russian Grand Prix in the current circumstances."
