Formula One officials are considering Imola as a potential venue for the season-ending race if the final two scheduled rounds in Qatar and Abu Dhabi cannot be held due to the conflict in the Middle East. Both outlets report that calendar changes are being prepared after organisers face uncertainty about whether the races can go ahead. Imola, Ferrari’s home circuit, has been identified as a likely fallback location for the championship finale. The discussion comes as Qatar is scheduled to host the penultimate round on November 29, while Abu Dhabi is also part of the final two races. In parallel, Malaysia is expected to return to the calendar in October. One report states Malaysia is anticipated to be confirmed in the next 24 hours, with the proposed date listed as October 4. Overall, the reported plan is contingent on the ability to stage the Qatar and Abu Dhabi events; if they are cancelled or postponed, Imola would be used to ensure the season can conclude with a race at a designated location.
