[ChrisMedlandF1] Some reports circulating that this year's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is at risk - F1 has stated that is not the case.

Am told there is no decision that needs to be made as some have claimed, and the race is not in doubt

What’s the risk? There are no weather events to be concerned about other than extreme heat but we race at night there. I haven’t seen any human rights abuses outside of the normal that F1 is clearly fine with.. only thing I could imagine is some insurgent group threatening to attack the event

Security concerns?

Apparently it's because of the Israel - Palestine war
