🚨 | Max Verstappen on whether F1 should race in Qatar and Abu Dhabi amid the ongoing tensions in the Middle East: “I don’t think so [that a similar situation to MotoGP will happen]. I haven’t heard much about it among the drivers. It’s a difficult situation, especially for MotoGP because they have to go there already.” “Fortunately, we still have some time. But I understand why those concerns exist, because it’s a difficult situation.” “Of course, it mainly depends on what kind of guarantees they can give us and what happens over the coming weeks. I can say now, ‘Yes, I’d be happy to go there,’ but you don’t know whether that will still be the case next week, given that the region is still unstable.”
