FIA expects Qatar, Abu Dhabi F1 races to proceed

Autosport reported FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem expects Formula 1's Qatar and Abu Dhabi rounds to proceed, though no formal confirmation was cited.

Autosport reported that FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem expects Formula 1's races in Qatar and Abu Dhabi to go ahead despite current tensions in the Middle East. The report framed that position as an expectation, not a formal confirmation.

Autosport said the assessment came against the backdrop of the conflict involving the United States-Israel and Iran. It also reported that the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian rounds were cancelled earlier this year in that context.

Based on the supplied source material, the Qatar and Abu Dhabi Grands Prix remain expected to proceed rather than officially confirmed. No additional schedule details or formal race-status update were included in the source provided.
