Carlos Sainz says it is “very difficult” and “difficult” to be convinced that Formula 1 can complete its final rounds in Qatar and Abu Dhabi as planned, citing the ongoing Middle Eastern conflict. He frames his position as doubt about whether the races will definitely proceed.
Across the outlets, the core details are consistent: Sainz’s comments are directed at F1’s chiefs and the sport’s governing bodies, with both Formula 1 management and the FIA described as maintaining that the Qatar and Abu Dhabi weekends in late November and early December can still take place. Autosport and Motorsport.com also specify the races are scheduled back-to-back at the end of November and the first weekend in December, reinforcing the timing of the final stretch.
