Despite neighbouring Iran, the centre of the conflict, the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku will continue ahead as planned, but there are severe question marks surrounding the season-ending events in Qatar and Abu Dhabi. It had been hoped that the Bahrain Grand Prix could be slotted back into the schedule on Sunday, October 4, creating a triple-header with Azerbaijan and Singapore. However, with this proving impossible, Bahrain completed a deal with Malaysia, which sees Sepang return to the calendar for the first time since 2017, hosting the 'Bahrain Grand Prix held in Malaysia'. But Domenicali is keen to boost this number, with several options on the table to ensure that the Las Vegas Grand Prix will not act as the finale on 21 November. Turning to the 2027 schedule, Domenicali conceded that continued fighting could still have an impact on plans.
