Formula One body says Saudi Arabian Grand Prix in Jeddah on despite Houthi attack
JEDDAH: Formula One said its race in Saudi Arabia will go ahead as scheduled this weekend despite attacks on the kingdom by Yemen’s Houthi militia. The announcement came a day after the rebels attacked an oil depot located about 11 kilometers (seven miles) from the F1 circuit. The 20 drivers on the grid met several times Friday night in talks that stretched well past 2 a.m. to discuss safety concerns. “Formula 1 and the (governing body) FIA can confirm that following discussions with all the teams and drivers, the 2022 FIA Formula 1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix will continue as scheduled,” F1 said in a statement Saturday. “Following the widely reported incident that took place in Jeddah on Friday, there has been extensive discussion between all stakeholders, the Saudi government authorities and security agencies who have given full and detailed assurances that the event is secure.”

F1 | Libres 1 en Arabia: Leclerc sigue donde lo dejó y Alonso estrena otro motor
Charles Leclerc lideró los primeros entrenamientos libres con una décima de ventaja sobre Max Verstappen y el Ferrari se confirma como referencia en un circuito rapidísimo, Jeddah Corniche, en el que las unidades de potencia marcarán la diferencia. No es casualidad que el tercer coche de la tabla de tiempos sea el Alfa Romeo de Valtteri Bottas, el más ligero de la parrilla con un motor Ferrari. Carlos Sainz, con el otro F1-75, se quedó cuarto a tres décimas y media. El madrileño reportó excesivo 'porpoising' a sus ingenieros mientras hacía las vueltas más rápidas con el neumático blando de Pirelli. Ajustar la altura y el rebote de los monoplazas es una de las tareas prioritarias para todas las escuderías este fin de semana.
