Formula 1 will soon have to make a decision about the final races of the 2026 season as the conflict between Iran, Israel and the United States continues to shake the Middle East and cast doubt on the Abu Dhabi and Qatar grands prix. Now, an unlikely alternative has reportedly come to the fore, with Italy preparing for a second world championship race.
On 29 November, the Formula 1 World Championship could conclude with the Qatar Grand Prix, but the race may not be held at Lusail, as usual, but at the Enzo e Dino Ferrari circuit in Imola. The possibility of Imola deciding the 2026 world champion is far from far-fetched.
