Adam Cooper: It's increasingly clear that at one stage in last night's GPDA meeting the drivers were unanimous in not wanting the race to go ahead, given their safety concerns for the whole paddock. Further dialogue with @F1 bosses and their team principals led to business as usual today.
F1 was threatened by the Saudis that they would make it "difficult" to leave the country if the race didn't go ahead. This is shaping up to be the WWE Crown Jewel 2019 situation all over again.
There was never a unanimous decision of not wanting to race. Only 5 drivers stood against racing, the other 15 wanted to race. People seriously need to stop making shit up…

@@alanandrew3140 He is speaking facts. F1 is so hypocritical when money is involved, which is all the time. They say things when money isn't on the line or at risk, but as soon as they are losing publicity and money, they say different things.
@@zrob8 well money controls everything . Attacks happen literally in every country that means f1 should not exist according to people who want to cancel the race . Where’s the hypocrisy then. Also the drivers have a choice but they want money so don’t blame f1 all the time . People like you just blame and blame
Imagine seeing this as a driver. On a hot lap your mind is racing so you wouldn't expect much but on a cool down lap you would have time to evaluate it. Very scary seems as though F1 are throwing these drivers out like scalextric cars looking for more TV revenue not realising that their incompetence could lead to the end of lives on live TV. The little publicity merchants causing these attacks will be licking their lips as we speak and that terrifies me. Gonna be on edge all weekend
I don't think they saw the smoke on a hot lap before they were informed about it, they'd be looking for the next apex or the next breaking point, but I suppose like other people pointed out that they could certainly smell it
At the same time you cant just bow to terrorism, thats what makes it terrorism... the idea that they can use fear to coerce you into doing what they want.
That's true, but we'll politics, American bosses in F1, I mean Liberty media, the name it's kinda American xD xD, FIA European, and all the team European or Americans, and all those countries Buy Oil and Gas from Arabia, so... They just look the other way... I'm not saying is goods, just saying that it's what it is...
Despite such serious missile attack close to the F1 circuit, F1 bosses insist on carrying on with the race, no concern about driver/crews safety. The double standards yet again, when it comes to Saudi , all is well and good despite their worst human rights record, killing of innocent people and yet game is on.
Somebody suggested that Saudi threaten F1 to continue to race else their plane would be grounded!! And there will be consequences.. if this is real than then they just been held hostage by SA..
like the US or UK or any other European country have way better human rights records lmao pls you have been fed this propaganda on the middle east so well, just say you're racist and go.. KSA was a victim of an attack here yet your blinded by your biases lol
@@mingc4698 There's no way that's true. They are continuing on with the race because they'd lose hundreds of millions of dollars if they didn't. It's all about the Benjamins
All the team bosses unanimously agreed to continue racing. Only some drivers still had doubts, but after more than 4 hours of meetings between F1, team principals, and the drivers; the doubtful drivers agreed as well. You have no idea what are talking about by saying "F1 bosses insist on carrying on with the race, no concern about drivers/crews safety".
UPDATE (Steph Wenteorth): "The decision to race after 4 hours of meetings shows that it was not unanimous. There were drivers in that room standing up for every single person who does not a a voice in this decision - mechanics, staff, etc. It’s a real shame that the race is set to go on."

Bullshit buddy, initially it was not unanimous between drivers, however it was for team principals. After more than 4 hours of meetings, the doubtful drivers agreed to continue as well. Stop spreading misinformation.
Agree to cancel for a metter of security, also Vettel should put the Yemen flag on is helmet or at least be ashamed to race for saudi aramco to be consistent with is ideals..but yeah, cash is king and it's cool to be politically correct
@@avo9886 This really isn't the same as whats happening between Russia and Ukriane at all. This is a war between rebel forces in Yemen and the other countries in the Arabian Peninsula. Saudi Arabia isn't the one instigating this violence. The current President of Yemen and the former president have asked for help from other countries in the Arabian Peninsula. But if you think this race still needs to be canceled the Bahrain GP should have been too, the Abu Dhabi GP should be and the Qatar GP shouldn't be added again in 2023.
Saudi is head of FIA, and now we have 3 races on the Arab peninsula, while losing Australia, Russia and others over "safety and political concerns" yet these races are now high value targets in a warzone and are being held hostage by the Saudis because it would make them look bad if the race has to be cancelled for safety. As a 20yr fan of F1, Im wondering if I have to boycott watching F1 on TV simply for the sake of the drivers, mechanics, fans in stadiums et al.
I pray that F1 gets their shit together and falls off this race. So many loved and incredible talents, all the teams, fans there for the event could be hurt. This would not stand in any other discipline
tbh I don't why Formula races keep going back to Saudi, something similar also happened in the 1st race of Formula E last season, a missile was intercepted in the middle of the Formula E race in Riyadh and now this
Man the F2 cars are gonna have flares,decoys or whatever countermeasures for that. This could actually be a sick game of F1 cars having to avoid cruise missiles while staying calm and racing like normal.
I know it was I was being silly about my response, I didn't mean it literally. The glitches get to be kinda humorous after a while. They even brought them back for Grid Legends lol.
Yeah its hard to see. That's why I went digging. Later on you can see it more clear but that's the first footage/signs seen from the F1 broadcast. Later you can see a larger cloud but it's at the same location.
Hey, am I crazy for not realizing tjis had happened until hours after second practice, despite having watched it live? Did they mention the attack at all in the broadcast? In that case I must have missed it but it feels weird how the commentators just went on as if nothing
Thtas exactly what makes the track special. Its the same as Baku. This track passes ALL FIA safety inspections. So, its FIA Certified. There is no danger.
@@Wolfywolf7 lol the racing was great last year. Good racing is close battles and passing and action such as a good finish and challenges that lead to wrecks. Not 1 guy dominating and everyone split up. Irrelevant comment

Moto GP Indonesian Grand Prix need a rain handler, Formula 1 Arabian Grand Prix need a rocket handler. Make great race, not war.. peace arround the world.
I hope everyone is safe and no casualties took place, btw this attack came from a rebel group “houthis” in yemen. I love yemen and its people its not their doings, the rebel group I believe purposely try to time their attacks at such important events in an attempt to hurt saudi’s ability in hosting important events and its 2030 vision. #LoveandPeace
