Red Bull star Max Verstappen (Max33Verstappen) snagged his first win of 2022 in a thrilling DRS battle. But one question looms: Should F1 race in Saudi Arabia?
What happened in the midfield?In an unusual turn of events, three different cars retired within seconds of each other—Daniel Ricciardo, Fernando Alonso and Valtteri Bottas.
Bottas, however, was able to make it, but the team was unable to fix his var's issue, ultimately deciding to retire the vehicle. The drivers were on the brink of boycotting this year’s race during Friday night’s meeting, per multiple reports, because a missile attack on a nearby oil depot caused security concerns.
“For us, is it acceptable to race 10 miles away from a drone rocket that is going in a petrol tank? Certainly not. But for here, within their culture, these things happen here. I don't want to say that I'm not racing because I am generally someone that wants to give people the chance to better themselves.
“I think it’s clearly concerning to see what is going on in some of these places but I do hope that racing in some of these countries, it does raise awareness, and we can have a positive impact,” Russell said in a Friday press conference. “And I think if Formula One can look back in 15, 20, 30, 40 years’ time, and see that the impact of our sport has had a positive change on society in some of these countries we’re going to, that’s something we should all be incredibly proud about.
