Formula 1 drivers request more input on the location of future races following the Saudi Arabia controversy.

Formula One drivers are seeking more input on where the sport races in the future.

Several drivers opted out of the Saudi Arabian GP race weekend following Friday's missile attack that occurred just seven miles from the Jeddah circuit.

The desire among drivers to have more influence on the sport's policy has been intensified by the incident.

F1 drivers will meet with bosses after the weekend's events, as reported by Sky Sports News on Monday.

The nearby Aramco oil facility will be the target of a militant attack.

The Grand Prix was secure thanks to various security measures, and while some drivers expressed concerns, the event's future is not believed to be at risk.

Why do drivers want more input on races?

F1 aims to be transparent and cooperative with all 10 teams in determining the calendar.

An increasing number of drivers consider themselves to be the main representatives of the sport and the ones responsible for conveying the brand's message to the general public.

Recently, drivers have been asked uncomfortable questions about Saudi Arabia's human rights record and the cancellation of the Russian Grand Prix due to their invasion of Ukraine.

In Jeddah, Lewis Hamilton stated, "We have no control over where we race, but we must try and do our best while we're here."

In the post-Bernie Ecclestone era, F1 has prioritized enhancing audience engagement through greater driver involvement.

The last five years have seen a substantial increase in fan interaction through digital and social media.

An assessment of what happened in Jeddah will be conducted and shared with all stakeholders, including the drivers.

Before the next Grand Prix in Melbourne Australia on April 10, meetings are anticipated.
