Formula 1: Bahrain and Saudi Arabia races under threat because of conflict in Middle East

McLaren's Oscar Piastri won last year's race in Bahrain

The Bahrain and Saudi Arabia Grands Prix are under threat as a consequence of the US-Israel war with Iran.

The two countries are among the Gulf states targeted by retaliatory missiles launched by Iran in response to US-Israeli air strikes.

Bahrain is set to host the fourth race of the season from 10-12 April, with Saudi Arabia's event in Jeddah a week later.

Missiles have hit hotels and civilian and energy infrastructure, as well as targeting American bases in the countries.
