An FIA statement said: “On Thursday evening the Formula 1, the FIA and the teams discussed the position of our sport.
“And the conclusion is, including the view of all relevant stakeholders, that it is impossible to hold the Russian Grand Prix in the current circumstances.”
Max Verstappen picked up his maiden championship in the final race of the season at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in December – during a race we will be talking about for decades.
The new season is upon us with testing set to get underway in February, as Mercedes and Red Bull look set to battle it out for the Constructors’ Championship yet again.
Then Bahrain is the first race of the season, the same venue as the second testing week, when motorsport’s biggest rivalry ensues.
Rumours over Hamilton’s future in F1 have been swirling in recent weeks but he’s yet to give any indication he’s taking a break or retiring from the sport.
Until then, strap yourselves in for one of the most hotly-anticipated seasons in F1 history.
