World : F1 Boss Domenicali: Season To End In Abu Dhabi As Planned
BERLIN, Oct 3 (Bernama-dpa) -- Formula One is not planning to modify its calendar again due to the conflict in West Asia and the season is expected to end in Abu Dhabi as originally scheduled, F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali told Sky Sports Italia on Saturday, reported German news agency (dpa).
F1 chief executive Stefano Domenicali stated on Saturday that the Formula One calendar will not be altered due to the ongoing conflict in West Asia. According to Domenicali, the races in Qatar on November 29 and Abu Dhabi on December 6 will proceed as scheduled, and plans to conclude the season in Imola are currently being reconsidered.
The F1 CEO made these remarks at the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia, while discussing the situation with Sky Sports Italia. Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff echoed Domenicali's words, telling Sky that the teams are currently preparing as if "all lights are green." However, Wolff emphasized the volatile nature of the situation and the need to continue monitoring developments.
In the past, the F1 season faced cancellations in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia due to regional unrest, with the latter race eventually being reinstated but moved to Malaysia. Like Qatar and Abu Dhabi, these events come with significant financial commitments from the participating teams.
