F1’s Backup Plan for Middle East Races | F1 News
Description
Formula 1 pulled off a last-minute miracle, rescheduling the Bahrain Grand Prix for October 4th to restore the 23-race calendar after Saudi Arabia’s cancellation. But the real drama? Qatar and Abu Dhabi’s futures hang in the balance, with no decision made yet—Formula 1’s CEO insists one must be finalized by September’s end. Meanwhile, the World Endurance Championship took a similar hit, relocating its Qatar and Bahrain races to Barcelona and Monza due to regional security headaches. F1 is now eyeing Imola as its top backup for the season finale—if Middle Eastern races go, Imola’s got the infrastructure, though December heat could ruin tire performance. Other options? Portimao and Istanbul Park. The final call? Still pending, but Imola’s the plan B.
