Formula One chief Stefano Domenicali confirmed on Saturday that the season will conclude in Abu Dhabi as originally planned, despite the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Domenicali spoke to Sky Sports Italia and stated that the races in Qatar on November 29 and Abu Dhabi on December 6 will proceed without any changes. He explained that the decision was based on the assurances received, and the team has no intention of altering the calendar at this point.
Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff echoed this sentiment, saying that the teams are proceeding with their preparations, though he acknowledged the volatility of the situation. Earlier this year, F1 had to cancel races in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia due to the conflict, but the Bahrain Grand Prix was rescheduled and moved to Malaysia.
The financial stakes are high for F1, as Qatar and Abu Dhabi contribute significant fees to the race calendar.
