Doha:FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem has confirmed that preparations are underway for the Qatar and Abu Dhabi Grands Prix to conclude the 2026 Formula One season as scheduled.
According to Marhaba, Ben Sulayem announced via Instagram that the FIA is ready to deliver both race weekends, emphasizing its commitment to welcoming drivers, teams, and fans to the two events.
The Qatar Grand Prix is set to take place at Lusail International Circuit from November 27 to 29, 2026, followed by the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix at Yas Marina Circuit from December 4 to 6, 2026.
Ben Sulayem expressed confidence in the readiness for these events, stating, "We are fully prepared and committed to delivering two outstanding Grands Prix weekends and a spectacular conclusion to the FIA Formula One World Championship. We look forward to welcoming drivers, teams, and fans to two iconic circuits for an unforgettable finish to the season."
This announcement comes after Formula One's decision to proceed with the final two rounds in the Middle East, as Italy’s Imola circuit is no longer required as a potential replacement venue.
