Formula 1 canceled its contingency plans and will finish the 2026 season as scheduled with two races in the Middle East.
The calendar concludes with the Qatar Grand Prix at Lusail on Nov. 29 and the Abu Dhabi GP at Yas Marina on Dec. 6.
If those races were canceled due to unrest in the region over the war in Iran, F1 made a backup plan to finish the campaign in Imola, Italy, on Dec. 6.
F1 now has told the Imola circuit to stand down. However, if the situation deteriorates, F1 remains prepared to cancel both races.
'If the situation develops negatively in the coming weeks before the events in the Middle East, we will not hesitate to do the right thing and the safety of everyone will always be the priority,' an F1 spokesperson said Tuesday, per the BBC.
Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli has clinched the F1 drivers' championship with three races left. At 20, he is the youngest world champion in the motorsports series' history.
The series heads to the United States next for the Las Vegas Grand Prix on Nov. 21.
