F1 cancels Imola as an alternative and counts on season finales in Qatar and Abu Dhabi

Formula 1 has confirmed that Imola will not serve as a backup venue for the races in Qatar and Abu Dhabi, which are expected to proceed despite ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Concerns about safety have been raised by several drivers, including Max Verstappen, who suggested the races should be canceled. However, F1 officials have decided to continue with the planned events. The situation remains tense, with discussions about potential boycotts among teams, although the championship titles have already been decided. The next race is scheduled for Las Vegas on November 22.
