Several races on the 2026 Formula 1 calendar are facing uncertainty. The Middle East F1 races have been in doubt for some time, but we are drawing closer to a decision needing to happen. As I understand the 2026 Bahrain Grand Prix was set to be announced during the 2026 Belgian Grand Prix; however, further conflict halted that announcement.

I look at the latest surrounding the 2026 Bahrain Grand Prix, 2026 Qatar Grand Prix, and 2026 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, including whether F1 is racing in Bahrain. If you’re following the latest F1 Middle East races, F1 race cancellation rumours, Spa Grand Prix and 2026 Spa Grand Prix news, here’s everything you need to know.

Thank you again to @F1PrivateJetSpotter for providing the Liege Airport departures.
