Carlos Sainz casts doubt on F1 season ending in Middle East with ‘premature’ verdict

Williams racer Carlos Sainz has expressed skepticism regarding the certainty of concluding the current Formula 1 championship within the Gulf region due to escalating security concerns and upcoming political votes. While leadership within motorsport administration maintains absolute confidence that the final two Grand Prix events in Qatar and Abu Dhabi will proceed as scheduled, Sainz suggested that adopting such a definitive stance at this stage is hasty given the rapid pace of geopolitical changes.

Other competitors on the grid, including Oscar Piastri and Isack Hadjar, indicated they would defer entirely to the judgment and guidance provided by governing officials regarding safety.
