PARIS: The final races of the Formula One season in Qatar and Abu Dhabi will go ahead as planned despite tensions in the Middle East, the president of motorsports’ governing body Mohammed Ben Sulayem said on Tuesday.
The final races of the Formula One season in Qatar and Abu Dhabi are set to take place as planned, according to the president of motorsports governing body Mohammed Ben Sulayem. The events are scheduled for November 29 in Qatar and December 6 in Abu Dhabi. Despite tensions in the Middle East, FIA chief Ben Sulayem expressed readiness and commitment to deliver outstanding grand prix weekends and a spectacular conclusion to the championship.
The F1 boss emphasized the team's full preparation and eagerness to welcome drivers, teams, and fans to the iconic circuits for an unforgettable finale. Although the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix was canceled earlier due to the conflict between the United States and Iran, and the Bahrain race was delayed and moved to Malaysia, the Italian track Imola has been informed that F1 does not require its participation at the end of the season.
The safety of everyone remains the top priority, and if circumstances in the Middle East worsen, the organization will take the necessary measures.
