London: Formula One on Friday said it will not race in Russia this season, saying it was 'impossible' to do so after the country launched an invasion on neighbouring Ukraine.

The race was scheduled for September 25 at Sochi's Olympic park.

"We are watching the developments in Ukraine with sadness and shock and hope for a swift and peaceful resolution to the present situation," the sport said in a statement.

"On Thursday evening Formula One, the FIA, and the teams discussed the position of our sport, and the conclusion is ... that it is impossible to hold the Russian Grand Prix in the current circumstances."
