Despite the explosions in the vicinity of the Jeddah International Circuit, the FIA, in consultation with the Saudi Arabian authorities, has decided to allow the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix to go ahead. However, the drivers will also have a say in the matter and are currently holding their own meeting to discuss the situation.
Drivers may put a stop to Saudi Arabian GP
The Formula One teams have agreed to the decision and are confident that the organization is doing the right thing. Among the drivers, there are reportedly more doubts. They are currently still discussing the situation and can therefore still put a stop to the organisers' plans.
It is expected that most drivers will follow the judgment of their team, but there would thus be some division over the decision. Keep an eye on the liveblog for the latest updates on the drivers' decisions and the situation in Jeddah.
