Motorsport: F1 has a plan if Middle East races cannot happen

# Motorsport: Formula One has a plan should season-ending races in Qatar and Abu Dhabi be affected by the conflict in the Middle East. Iran responded to US participation in Israel’s 12-day air war by firing missiles at a US airbase in Qatar, across the Gulf from Iran. Qatar is due to host the penultimate round of the championship on 30 November, with Abu Dhabi’s Yas Marina following on 7 December.  F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali says they are in daily contact with local promoters to monitor the situation.
