JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia -- Leading Formula One drivers have made clear that they want to revisit the topic of Formula One's presence in Saudi Arabia once Sunday's race in the country is over.
On Friday night, all 20 F1 drivers were on the brink of boycotting this year's race after a missile attack on a nearby oil depot raised security concerns.
In a series of meetings that lasted for over four hours, F1 executives, team bosses and Saudi Arabian officials attempted to reassure drivers of the safety of the event, and at 2:30 a.m. on Saturday a collective decision was made to race on as normal.
