Due to the current events happening in the Middle East, the FIA and Liberty Media are concerned about the safety of the upcoming final race. Formula One's management is currently reviewing and assessing the situation, monitoring the developments and assessing safety circumstances. However, for any decision to be taken, the organizers must give approval.

The teams have been informed about the ongoing discussions since last weekend. As a result, a decision will be taken soon because teams must be informed in advance due to logistic reasons.

If cancelled, this would be the second race in the 2023 season to be cancelled since Imola, which was cancelled due to heavy rains and floods.

A possible cancellation means the inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix will be the grand finale to the 2023 season.
