Russian Attack on Ukraine Leaves F1 Drivers Questioning Nation’s Grand Prix Participation

As Formula One says it’s “closely watching the very fluid developments” in Ukraine, drivers are starting to make their own calls on what to do regarding September's Russian Grand Prix.

Sebastian Vettel said he will not race in the Grand Prix if the sport decides to move forward with holding the event.

The Aston Martin driver, who is a director of the Grand Prix Drivers' Association (GPDA), said: “[The] GPDA haven't spoken on this subject so I can't speak on behalf of the GPDA.”

"In my personal opinion, obviously I woke up again to this morning's news and I was shocked,” Vettel continued.
