Qatar says F1 and MotoGP plans remain on track
Qatar says preparations are continuing for its Formula 1 and MotoGP events despite uncertainty linked to the conflict in the Middle East. Officials indicated the current position is that the races remain on course to go ahead.
Losail International Circuit and the Qatar Motor and Motorcycle Federation are continuing preparations for the Qatar Formula 1 and MotoGP grands prix. Qatar has said it considers the situation safe and is hoping to keep both events on the calendar despite ongoing regional uncertainty.
The backdrop is the conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran, which has already caused major disruption to some international championship schedules. Even so, Qatar's latest message is that plans for its F1 and MotoGP races are still proceeding.
The update also comes with questions still hanging over the end of Formula 1's 2026 season. For now, however, Qatar says it remains on course to host its races this year.
