Boycot and war threat put extra pressure on deadline: will F1 then still cancel GPs in Qatar and Abu Dhabi?

The F1 faces pressure regarding the final races in Qatar and Abu Dhabi due to geopolitical tensions and potential boycotts. Amidst U.S. midterms, the U.S. and Israel are reportedly planning strikes on Iran, prompting embassy evacuations. Despite safety concerns voiced by drivers, F1 intends to proceed with the races, risking significant financial losses if canceled. A backup plan at Imola is in place for a potential alternative race. The deadline for a decision is November 10, with implications for the season's conclusion depending on safety assessments and possible boycotts from teams, as seen in MotoGP.
