The Russian Formula 1 Grand Prix has been cancelled as a result of the invasion of Ukraine.
An F1 statement said it had been agreed at a meeting of stakeholders "that it is impossible to hold the Russian Grand Prix in the current circumstances".
It added that F1 was watching the ongoing situation in Ukraine "with sadness and shock and hopes for a swift and peaceful resolution".
Sebastian Vettel has been ruled out of Sunday's Saudi Arabian Grand Prix due to Covid-19. The four-time world champion missed the season opener in Bahrain with the virus, and has failed to recover in time for this weekend's race. Vettel will again be replaced by Aston Martin's reserve driver Nico Hulkenberg.
