Formula One season could end in Europe because of the war.

The 2023 Formula 1 season could end in Europe due to the war in the Middle East, which threatens the high-profile races in Qatar and Abu Dhabi. According to F1 Director Stefan Domenicali, both races remain on the calendar and are already sold out, but final decisions on their execution will be made by mid-September. Domenicali stated that if the conflict prevents these races from taking place, the championship would conclude in Europe, as there are no other viable options. The situation follows previous cancellations of races in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia due to the U.S.-Iran conflict. Additionally, Malaysia has stepped in to host a race in Bahrain's place in September, and there is potential for two races in Las Vegas, though organizers want to avoid overshadowing the event.

Bias read (Center): The article discusses Formula 1 racing logistics and does not take a stance on any political issue. It focuses on the impact of the Middle East conflict on sports scheduling without showing bias toward any side.
