Formula One president Stefano Domenicali says he hopes to restore at least one of two Middle East races that were removed from this season’s calendar. The races scheduled for Bahrain and Jeddah in April were cancelled after regional security tensions escalated. Both reports link the cancellations to the broader impact of attacks on Iran, which they say spilled over into the Arab Gulf states. Domenicali’s comments indicate he is looking to bring a replacement event—or reinstate one of the cancelled rounds—back into the current season’s race schedule. The reports do not specify whether negotiations are underway, what alternative dates might be considered, or what factors would determine the final decision. They also do not provide confirmed details about which of the two venues, Bahrain or Jeddah, could return, or whether both could be reinstated. The situation remains dependent on the evolving regional context and race-planning requirements.
