Formula \u200bOne will end its season in West Asia as scheduled \u200cwith races in Qatar and Abu Dhabi, the Liberty Media-owned \u200bsport said on Tuesday with Italy\u2019s Imola circuit \u2060no longer required as a backup option.<\/p>\n

The teams competing in the championship have been informed of the decision, with Formula One saying all 11 \u200cwere supportive.<\/p>\n

The move comes after MotoGP held its Qatar round at the Lusail circuit near Doha last weekend.<\/p>\n

Both Formula \u200cOne championships have been decided, with 20-year-old Italian Kimi \u200cAntonelli \u2060taking the drivers\u2019 title as youngest ever champion in \u2060Mexico this month and his Mercedes team completing the double in Brazil last Sunday.<\/p>\n

Imola was a fallback option, pencilled in for December 6 should the Iran war \u200band regional conflict make \u200cit unsafe for Formula One to complete its calendar of Qatar on November 29 and Abu Dhabi the weekend after.<\/p>\n

Home venue<\/h4>\n

The Italian circuit \u2014 a home venue for Antonelli and also for \u200cFerrari \u2014 had a cutoff point, however, and local organisers were \u200binformed of the decision on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are ready for Qatar and Abu Dhabi,\u201d International Automobile Federation (FIA) president \u2060Mohammed Ben Sulayem posted on Instagram.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are fully prepared and committed to delivering two outstanding grand prix weekends and a spectacular conclusion \u200cto the FIA Formula One world championship,\u201d added the Emirati.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe look forward to welcoming drivers, teams and fans to two iconic circuits for an unforgettable finish to the season.\u201d<\/p>\n

The decision means the F1 calendar will be 23 rounds and that the Formula Two feeder series will be decided on the track, with Qatar and \u200cAbu Dhabi hosting the remaining races.<\/p>\n

Brazilian Rafael Camara, who made his Formula \u200bOne race debut with Haas in his home race at the weekend, leads Red Bull-backed Bulgarian Nikola Tsolov by \u2060seven points.<\/p>\n

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday he planned to \u2060hold off on new military strikes against Iran for the time being after appeals from countries in the region, \u200cincluding from Qatar\u2019s prime minister.<\/p>\n

Formula One could still cancel the races if the situation flares up, with safety a priority. \u200bThe next race is in Las Vegas on November 21.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
