Wolff defends MotoGP decision to race in Qatar

Mercedes Formula 1 team principal Toto Wolff has backed MotoGP's decision to go ahead with this weekend's Qatar Grand Prix at the Losail International Circuit. The event is taking place despite the difficult situation in the Middle East, where an armed conflict involves the United States and Israel against Iran.

Formula 1, which like MotoGP is owned by Liberty Media, is also keeping a close eye on the Qatar event. The source text is truncated, so further details of Wolff's comments are not available here.
