F1赛历最新:中国大奖赛成2027赛季揭幕战热门备选
据The 比赛报道,如果2027赛季无法在巴林和沙特阿拉伯揭幕,中国大奖赛已成为揭幕战的主要备选方案。
如果无法在巴林和沙特阿拉伯揭幕,中国大奖赛已成为2027年F1赛季揭幕战的主要备选方案之一。
鉴于今年二月美国与伊朗之间爆发的冲突,F1目前正对中东局势保持观望。
F1计划在未来几周内做出的决定,不仅关系到今年赛历最后阶段赛事的走向,也将决定2027年赛程的命运。
F1的初步设想是明年从巴林站开始赛季——因此如果这无法实现,就需要制定替代方案。
中东的紧张局势已导致本赛季早些时候的巴林大奖赛和沙特阿拉伯大奖赛被取消,而由巴林资助的马来西亚的一场比赛被安排在10月初作为替代。
今年计划作为赛季收官站的卡塔尔大奖赛和阿布扎比大奖赛的命运仍然悬而未决。
F1长期以来一直明确表示,将在9月底之前就是否愿意继续举办这两场比赛做出决定。
F1首席执行官斯特凡诺·多梅尼卡利(Stefano Domenicali)在周末表示赛历已“确认”的言论,并不意味着关于卡塔尔和阿布扎比的最终决定已经做出,而是被理解为与目前的计划是前往那里比赛这一事实有关。
多梅尼卡利在荷兰大奖赛期间接受F1自家频道采访时说:“赛历已确认。所以阿布扎比还有一些门票待售。
“一切进展顺利,我们将继续专注于兑现我们在年初承诺的赛历。”
然而,如果到9月底美国与伊朗之间的冲突仍未结束,那么F1目前很可能将被迫放弃卡塔尔和阿布扎比大奖赛。
如果发生这种情况,那么赛季收官战将于12月在伊莫拉举行,很可能是在拉斯维加斯大奖赛两周之后。
中东局势也会影响到明年。F1一直推迟公布其2027赛季初步赛历,这让各站赛事推广方更难开展售票工作。近年来,F1通常能在夏季就公布下赛季的赛历。
如果到9月底中东局势仍未改善,那么这很可能迫使F1调整下赛季以该地区开季的计划。
据The 比赛了解,F1的2027年A方案是以巴林(3月14日)和沙特阿拉伯(3月21日)背靠背的比赛开启新赛季,随后在澳大利亚(4月4日)、日本(4月11日)和中国(4月18日)进行三连赛。
但如果无法按此进行,首选的替代方案是3月以中国大奖赛揭幕新赛季,随后是日本站。
造成这种情况的原因是,澳大利亚大奖赛此前曾多次作为F1赛季的揭幕战,但由于新的维修站大楼的工程无法及时完工,它无法从目前暂定的4月档期提前太多。
因此,墨尔本的比赛将被安排在亚洲各站之后——要么作为与中国站和日本站组成的三连赛中的第三站,要么作为独立的一站。
届时F1将不得不做出决定:是尝试将巴林站和沙特阿拉伯站安排在4月,并寄希望于中东局势好转,还是通过把其他比赛提前而将它们进一步推迟。
在夏休期期间发言时,多梅尼卡利表示,无论中东发生什么情况,F1明年一定会举办完整的赛历。
"我们已经制定了不同的方案和不同的选择,以确保无论如何我们都能保持明年也有24场大奖赛的目标,"他说。
本赛季的赛历目前看来最终将会是22场或23场比赛。

The Chinese Grand Prix has emerged as a leading options to be the 2027 Formula 1 season opener if starting in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia is not possible.
F1 is currently holding a watching brief over the situation in the Middle East, following the conflict that erupted between the United States and Iran back in February.
Decisions it plans to make over the next few weeks are not only to what happens to the final phase of this year's calendar, but will dictate the fate of the 2027 schedule too.
F1's provisional idea is to start next year in Bahrain – so if that cannot happen then an alternative plan needs to be put in place.
The tensions in the Middle East already resulted in the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix being called off earlier this season, with a race in Malaysia, funded by Bahrain, getting slotted in as a replacement in early October.
The fate of this year's planned season-closing Qatar and Abu Dhabi Grands Prix still remains up in the air.
F1 has long been clear that it will make a call on whether it is comfortable to go ahead with those two races by the end of September.
Comments by F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali at the weekend that the calendar was "confirmed" did not mean a final decision had been made about Qatar and Abu Dhabi, but are understood instead to be related to the fact that the current plan is to go there.
Speaking to F1's own channel at the Dutch GP, Domenicali said: "The calendar is confirmed. So there are still a few tickets to be sold in Abu Dhabi.
"Everything is progressing well and we stay focused on delivering the calendar we promised at the beginning of the year."
If, however, by the end of September the conflict between the USA and Iran is not over then F1 will likely be forced to abandon the Qatar and Abu Dhabi Grands Prix for now.
If that happens then the season finale will take place at Imola in December, most likely a fortnight after the Las Vegas Grand Prix.
The Middle East situation impacts next year too. F1 has held back on releasing its provisional 2027 calendar, which has made it more difficult for race promoters to get on with selling tickets. In recent years it has been able to release the following season's calendar during the summer.
Should the situation in the Middle East have not improved by the end of September then that will likely force a rejig on plans to start next season in the region too.
The Race understands F1's 2027 plan A is to start the year with back-to-back races in Bahrain (March 14) and Saudi Arabia (March 21) before a triple header in Australia (April 4), Japan (April 11) and China (April 18.)
But if that cannot go ahead, the leading alternative is to begin the season in March with the Chinese Grand Prix, followed by Japan.
The reason for this is that the Australian GP, which has previously been a season opener for F1 on plenty of occasions, cannot move too far forward from its current provisional April slot because work on a new pit building will not be complete in time.
So the race in Melbourne would then slot in after the Asian races – either as the third race of a triple-header with China and Japan or as a standalone.
F1 would then have to make a call about whether to attempt to slot in the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian races for April, and hope things improve in the Middle East, or delay them even further by pulling other events forward.
Speaking over the summer break, Domenicali said F1 would definitely hold a full calendar next year, whatever happens in the Middle East.
"We have different plans with different options ready in place that will accommodate the fact that we will keep, in any case, the target of 24 grand prix also for next year," he said.
This season's calendar currently looks set to end up at either 22 or 23 races.
