The CEO and President of Formula One, Stefano Domenicali, has confirmed an imminent deadline for the cancellation of the final two rounds of the 2026 calendar due to the war in Iran. It will create a triple-header by slotting in between the rounds in Azerbaijan and Singapore. F1 must deliver at least 22 rounds this year; otherwise, their contracts with global TV companies become ‘in breach.’ “The deadline for the decision on any change to the calendar is the middle of September. Barcelona similarly is prone to snow and ice in December, so the search for the 2026 season finale continues.
