On Wednesday, the FIA ruled that the contract for the 2022 race had been terminated for reason of force majeure as a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

The FIA also banned the display of Russian and Belarusian flags and symbols, along with the playing of their national anthems, at any event under its jurisdiction and suspended its sanctioning and funding of events in both countries.

The permanent removal of the Russian event opens a spot on the 23-race calendar that could be filled by an event held in Las Vegas as soon as next year. Formula One has been in discussions with the city and Nevada about adding a third U.S. race there, which would join the currently scheduled events in Miami and Austin.
