Two big car races will not happen. These are the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian races. They were planned for April.
Formula 1 and FIA said this on Sunday. It is because of problems in the Middle East. There are more military actions. This makes it not safe for the races.
The leaders of Formula 1 said safety is most important. It is very hard to keep everyone safe.
The problems got worse last month. There is no time to move the races. It is hard to change plans quickly.
Formula 1 and FIA said safety is number one. It was a hard choice. But it was the right choice. These canceled races show how world events affect sports. Safety is the main focus.
