Resolution Criteria

Resolution will be determined by official FIA/Formula 1 announcements.

Background

Following a bombing campaign in Iran launched by the US and Israel, Iran retaliated by launching strikes that targeted US bases in nearby countries, including Bahrain. Verified footage shows debris fired into the air after a strike on the Bahrain National Communication Centre, which is only 15 miles from the circuit. There remains heavy flight disruption in the Persian Gulf states, meaning transport for teams would be extremely difficult if not impossible.
