F1 season to end in Europe if Qatar, Abu Dhabi unable to host due to war

Formula One faces uncertainty over the final races of its 2024 season due to the ongoing US-Israel war on Iran, which has disrupted events in the Middle East. The sport's CEO, Stefano Domenicali, stated that a decision on whether to move the final races to Europe will be made by mid-September. Originally scheduled for Qatar and Abu Dhabi, these races may be relocated if logistical challenges persist. Alternative venues such as Italy's Imola circuit are being considered, while some races previously canceled in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain have been rescheduled elsewhere. The potential changes highlight the impact of geopolitical tensions on international sports calendars.
