F1 Has a Plan if Middle East Races Cannot Happen, Says Chief

  • Formula One’s chief executive Stefano Domenicali said the sport has a contingency plan for potential disruptions to the Qatar and Abu Dhabi races due to Middle East conflicts.
  • This plan follows ongoing tensions, including Iran’s missile strikes on a U.S. airbase in Qatar last month and Yemen Houthis’ attacks near the Jeddah circuit in 2022.
  • Domenicali noted Formula One maintains daily contact with Middle Eastern promoters, who remain relaxed, and emphasized ongoing monitoring and readiness to adapt schedules if needed.
  • He emphasized the importance of remaining vigilant and closely observing developments, adding that there is currently no indication that any races will be postponed or threaten the championship.
  • Domenicali said replacement races might occur at warmer European circuits like Algarve but declined snowy venues, signaling flexibility yet confidence that disruptions will be minimal.
