F1 teams expect mid-October decision on Qatar, Abu Dhabi GPs

F1's teams understand they will learn in mid-October whether the season-ending races in Qatar and Abu Dhabi will take place as scheduled.

​The 2026's season is due to finish with a back-to-back races in Qatar (November 27-29) and Abu Dhabi (December 4-6) but those events have appeared uncertain for a number of months owing to the conflict this year in the Middle East, which started in February.
