Quick Summary

FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem announced on Tuesday that Qatar and Abu Dhabi are prepared to host the final two races of the Formula 1 championship despite recent changes due to geopolitical issues. Ben Sulayem expressed confidence in delivering “outstanding Grand Prix weekends” without specifying details about preparations or security measures. The FIA, as the governing body, approves the calendar but does not decide race hosts; that responsibility lies with F1’s president Stefano Domenicali, who prefers Qatar and Abu Dhabi for the season finale.

Story summary

The final two races of the Formula One (F1) season, scheduled for Qatar and Abu Dhabi, will proceed despite ongoing tensions in the Middle East. FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem confirmed on social media that both events are set to go ahead on November 29 and December 6 respectively. This decision comes after earlier cancellations and delays of races due to conflicts involving Iran, including the scrapping of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix and a delay for the Bahrain race which was eventually held in Malaysia. Despite concerns about safety, F1 has assured that they will prioritize security and are prepared to cancel if conditions worsen.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
