F1 has no options but to cancel unless Putiin pulls out. Should be a no brainer for F1 aka Liberty Media.

Hass already made changes to their livery.

Too bad Putin's father didn't pull out.

Exactly! If F1 had any character and integrity, they would issue a statement like:

"Formula 1 will not race or do business in or with countries actively engaged in armed conflict.

The Government of Russia has made it clear that their recent military invasion and occupation of Ukraine is intended as a permanent annexation.

Therefore F1 has taken the decision to remove the 2022 Sochi Race from the Championship schedule. Decisions for the 2023 calendar will be made at the approriate time and will consider the current and future risks.

We stand in support of all of the citizens of Ukraine, of all ethnicities."

Lewis Hamilton set the fastest time of the week on the final day of pre-season running in Barcelona, after five red flags truncated the morning session, and Pirelli conducted a wet weather tyre test in the early afternoon.

I never believed a word George said that they were slower than the Red and Orange cars...

The FIA Formula 1 World Championship visits countries all over the world with a positive vision to unite people, bringing nations together.

We are watching the developments in Ukraine with sadness and shock and hope for a swift and peaceful resolution to the present situation.

On Thursday evening Formula 1, the FIA, and the teams discussed the position of our sport, and the conclusion is, including the view of all relevant stakeholders, that it is impossible to hold the Russian Grand Prix in the current circumstances.

Where's Lance?

With the Russian invasion, wonder if Hass is in talks to sell out to Andretti. This seems like an ideal time for Hass to step away from the sport...and Mazaspin can go F off into the back woods.

I think this request is a little excessive.

I think this request is a little excessive.

Would you rather see Mazaspin race or Oscar Piastri?

Seems like an ideal time to make the switch.

Mazepin is actually a decent guy. I think he went to school in Toronto. Or his brother?
