Ukraine in the early hours of Thursday morning. The FIA said: "We are watching developments in Ukraine with sadness and shock and hope for a swift and peaceful resolution to the present situation."On Thursday, Formula 1, the FIA, and the teams discussed the position of our sport, and the conclusion is, including the view of all relevant stakeholders, that is impossible to hold the Russian Grand Prix in the current circumstances." And Daily Star Sport is looking at five possible replacements...Istanbul was a regular on the F1 circuit between 2005 and 2011, but the race found itself scrapped in 2012.Organisers and F1 personnel had already clashed about costs in 2011.However, F1 returned to Istanbul Park in 2020 as part of a revised calendar in August 2020 due to the ongoing covid pandemic.The race returned in 2021 as a replacement for the Canadian GP, which had to be scrapped due to Canada's covid entry requirements. Where do you think the spare race should be held?
