F1 season to end in Middle East as scheduled
Formula One will hold its remaining races in Qatar on November 29 and Abu Dhabi the following weekend, with Imola no longer needed as a backup. The calendar will remain at 23 rounds.
1. Schedule confirmed
Formula One said the season will end with races in Qatar and Abu Dhabi as originally scheduled, and that all 11 teams supported the decision. Imola had been a fallback for December 6 if regional conflict made the planned races unsafe.
2. Safety remains priority
FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem said the sport was prepared for both race weekends. Formula One could still cancel the races if the situation worsens, saying safety is a priority.
