So they are definitely getting missiles fired at them during the race then. Didn't Formula E get missiles fired at them last year?

Very seriously no. 2013-2020 was nothing like this, with a handful of race exceptions over that whole era.

Lol if you thought Formula 1 as an organization would do anything but force this race to happen. Obviously I hope it goes on without any problems but I also hope we eventually get some info about what happened in that meeting. Maybe Seb will give us a tell all at the end of the season.

Wasn't there a similar situation in the past where teams were coerced into holding an unsafe race? I think it was during the FISA FOCA imbroglio, and the race organizers basically said if they didn't hold a race they'd seize everyone's cars and equipment.

*edit* It wasn't during FISA FOCA, it was the 1975 Spanish GP. Drivers walked out when the barriers weren't properly constructed, and the organizers threatened to confiscate everyone's poo poo.

Yeah I think there will be another meeting after this weekend when being detained inside Saudi Arabia isn't an option.

There was a few times where drivers tried a boycott of a race.

First, there was the 1975 Spanish Grand Prix, where the organisers did a terrible job of building the safety barriers, so the drivers went on strike, skipping practice. The Spanish police threatened to sieze equipment, so the race went ahead. Then in the race, a car crashed through a barrier & killed 4 spectators.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1975_Spanish_Grand_Prix

Then there was a driver boycott of qualifying of the 1982 South African GP due to proposed Super License changes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcDAWhbHJqM

Then the 1985 Belgian Grand Prix was postponed due to the asphalt breaking up during practice.
