Formula 1 will conclude its 2026 season in Europe if the Qatar and Abu Dhabi Grands Prix cannot take place because of the situation in the Middle East, the sport’s president and CEO Stefano Domenicali said Wednesday, Anadolu reports.
Speaking during a media roundtable following the Hungarian Grand Prix, Domenicali said both races are confirmed but Formula 1 would monitor developments until mid-September.
For us today, the races in Qatar and Abu Dhabi are confirmed,” he added.
Qatar is scheduled to host the penultimate round from Nov. 27 – 29, followed by the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix from Dec. 4 – 6.
The uncertainty follows the removal of the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix from their original April dates because of the regional situation.
