FIA insist F1 season will end in Middle East

FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem has firmly declared that Formula 1's 2024 season will conclude as planned in the Middle East, with races scheduled in Qatar on November 29 and Abu Dhabi on December 6. Despite ongoing regional tensions raising uncertainty, Ben Sulayem dismissed safety concerns as overblown, stating the events will proceed as normal. Multiple F1 teams have reportedly been left in the dark about the final decision, with Italy's Imola circuit remaining on standby as an alternative venue for a potential standalone finale on December 6.
