2026 Qatar, Abu Dhabi GP calls still pending

Formula 1 has not confirmed whether the 2026 Qatar and Abu Dhabi Grands Prix will go ahead, with several outlets reporting ongoing uncertainty.

Formula 1 has not confirmed whether the season-ending 2026 Qatar and Abu Dhabi Grands Prix will go ahead. RaceFans reported that both events remain uncertain amid the war in Iran, while Autosport and Motorsport.com also connected the delay to the wider conflict in the Middle East.

Autosport and Motorsport.com reported that cancellation of the two rounds had been seen as increasingly likely for months. Both outlets also said Formula 1’s commercial rights holder had been making contingency plans while publicly keeping the races on the calendar.

Nothing in the supplied source material confirmed a cancellation or a revised schedule. For now, the status of the Qatar and Abu Dhabi rounds remains unresolved, based on those reports rather than any official announcement.
