Formula 1 could move final races to Europe if Middle East conflict continues

The last two Formula 1 weekends of the year could be moved - if the war in the Middle East continues. Then the season will end in Europe, says F1 boss Stefano Domenicali.

This applies to the races in Qatar on November 29 and in Abu Dhabi on December 6, but the current security situation in the area means that this may have to be reconsidered.

If the situation has not been resolved in the way we believe it should be resolved before mid-September, we will make a decision, says Stefano Domenicali and continues:

If this is not possible, the season will end in Europe.

Domenicali does not say anything about which European tracks may be relevant in the event of a possible move.

Earlier this year, the Formula 1 races in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia were canceled due to the war in the Middle East.
