Both UAE and Qatar have been targeted by Iran this year, and Qatar has the biggest US base in the ME. The commercial arm of F1 is owned by an American company. F1 would make a great attention-getting target for Iran.
Can the promoters make some sort of deal with Iran to leave the F1 events alone? I don't think they have enough money to bribe Iran.

So, some grid penalties for excessive replacements of PU components...
1. Hadjar has a 5-place grid penalty.
2. Colapinto has a 15-place grid penalty (includes the 5-place penalty from last week).
3. Lindblad will start from the back with a 30-place grid penalty.
These are the kind of developments that we can't anticipate for our prediction lists before the weekend starts. But If Lsut81 had his way, we would get this info before locking the prediction lists.

FP3
Mercedes and Red Bull on top.
Ferrari ahead of McLaren.
The bottom of the top four teams is Piastri in P8 at +1.064s.
The front of the midfield is Colapinto in P9 at +1.618s.
Alonso is P12 at +1.921s!
As usual, Cadillac is by far the slowest car. They are almost 1s slower than the car in P20.
But recent history shows that Aston Martin is still favored to finish last in the race.

Did I hear them say that Aston was running a new Honda engine?

I missed that. Dunno.

Also. Hadjar looks to be legitimizing. Pumped for this race.

Indy qualifying is just behind

That was a pretty good qualifying. Should make for an interesting race!

Pit strategy is going to be big. We are going to see a lot of tire management though so it seems like a wet blanket race.
Hopefully someone in the midfield just commits to going flat out and take 3 or 4 pits and make it up on track

What’s a wet blanket race mean?

Just think it has potential to be a tire management no fun race because of the track conditions.
If I am reading the weather report right, which I am probably not, there is a 80% chance of rain at lights out.

Wet blanket and a cold shower. Nice

Wet is right. Actively ranging during the national anthem.
Delayed start, safety car is struggling to get around the track with hydroplaning

The fans are really good sports. The ones in the covered stands are having fun. The ones on the grass are just clinging to their umbrellas.
25 minutes after the scheduled race start and it's still raining hard. The track is thick with water. They're not starting any time soon.
The cars are actually on the grid with those small paddock canopies to try to keep the cars dry. The drivers are chilling in the garages.

Just turned it on, what happened to the Ferraris in the first formation lap?
