伊莫拉搭建看台，阿布扎比仍是首选——F1赛季收官战幕后真相
2026赛季收官阶段，F1强调卡塔尔和阿布扎比大奖赛按计划举行仍是首选方案，但同时因中东持续动荡，已暗中批准伊莫拉作为备用方案开始筹备。
伊莫拉正在搭建看台，阿布扎比仍是A计划——F1赛季收官站到底情况如何？
A计划仍然是前往卡塔尔和阿布扎比，但与此同时，F1已经给伊莫拉开绿灯，让其开始准备工作，并确保伊莫拉不会承担任何财务风险
随着F1进入赛季的最后阶段，纸面上还有三个三连赛，2026赛季将在哪里结束的问题依然存在。从理论上讲，卡塔尔和阿布扎比大奖赛仍按计划举行，F1也强烈强调，就目前情况而言，这仍然是A计划。
与此同时，F1必须为另一种情况做好准备，即由于中东地区持续不断的动荡，这些比赛不得不被取消，因此幕后已经开绿灯，着手制定B计划。不出所料，这个B计划就是恩佐与迪诺·法拉利赛道。
F1内部人士向Motorsport.com透露，伊莫拉的组织方现已获得绿灯，可以按照艾米利亚-罗马涅大奖赛将如期举行的前提来搭建看台并进行各项准备工作。
这并不意味着比赛就一定会举行——卡塔尔和阿布扎比仍然是A计划——但一级方程式管理公司（FOM）必须推进一个备选方案，以确保在任何情况下，拉斯维加斯大奖赛之后仍有一个赛季收官战。
在没有最终确认比赛会举办的情况下搭建看台并继续所有准备工作，自然会带来财务风险，但围场内的消息人士表示，这些风险全部由F1承担。这意味着所有准备工作——包括临时看台的搭建——都由F1全额支付，因此无论结果如何，伊莫拉都不会面临任何财务风险。
如果伊莫拉这个备选方案最终被证明没有必要，这种做法会让F1蒙受经济损失，但这项运动别无选择。毕竟，如果中东局势在卡塔尔和阿布扎比既定比赛前一个月进一步升级，F1无法承受没有一个随时可以启用的B计划的后果。
这也表明一级方程式希望尽可能推迟到最后一刻才做出最终决定，同时不应忘记中东的最后两个比赛周末在财务上有多大吸引力。
一级方程式首席执行官斯特凡诺·多梅尼卡利最初表示将于九月中旬做出决定，但此后情况发生了变化。
多位车队领队目前指出，十月中旬是新的明确时间节点，不过一级方程式强调并没有硬性截止日期。从后勤角度来看，现阶段仍然相对没有太大紧迫性，只要伊莫拉赛道完全准备好在十二月的第一个周末顶替登场即可。
多位车队领队在巴库周四的新闻发布会上强调，车队也已被告知这一现实，目前并不特别担心。
“我相信斯特凡诺原本打算在十月中旬告诉我们，对吧？所以我们都清楚现在的情况。”哈斯车队领队小松礼雄说。
“我相信伊莫拉已经在做准备，以防我们不得不这么做。我认为挑战在于，比如说，欧洲房车（后勤基地）结构之类的。所有负责照看这些设施的人，他们在冬季有另外的工作，所以我们需要找到替代的人来做这件事。
“但我确信，作为一个大家庭、一个共同体，我们所有人都会确保：如果不得不这么做，那就一定办成。不过希望作为底线，我们能去卡塔尔和阿布扎比。那就真的太好了。”
奥迪车队领队比诺托持相同看法，并确认车手们（各车队）通常应该会在十月中旬左右得到一级方程式方面的通知。
“正如我们上周一在国际汽联一级方程式委员会会议上讨论的那样，十月中旬是做出此类决定的最后期限。”
比诺托认为，可能出现的低温并不是在伊莫拉举办赛季收官战的一大障碍。
“我认为主要的挑战更多在于组织和后勤方面。从技术角度来说，我们常常会说冬天、雪地轮胎等等，但实际上，一年中那个时间段伊莫拉的平均气温，比我们在拉斯维加斯举办比赛时的气温还要高。”

Imola building grandstands, Abu Dhabi plan A – What’s really going on with F1’s season finale?
Plan A is still to travel to Qatar and Abu Dhabi, but at the same time F1 has given Imola the green light to start its preparations in a way that ensures Imola does not face any financial risk
As Formula 1 enters the final phase of the season, with three triple-headers on paper, the question remains where the 2026 season will end. In theory, the Qatar and Abu Dhabi Grands Prix are still scheduled to take place, and F1 strongly emphasises that, as things stand, this also remains plan A.
At the same time, F1 has to be prepared for a scenario in which those races have to be cancelled because of all the continued unrest in the Middle East, and so the green light has been given behind the scenes to work on a plan B. Unsurprisingly, that plan B is the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari.
Sources within F1 told Motorsport.com that the organisers in Imola have now been given the green light to build the grandstands and make preparations as if the race in Emilia-Romagna will take place.
This does not mean it will actually happen – Qatar and Abu Dhabi still constitute plan A – but Formula One Management (FOM) has to press ahead with an alternative in order to guarantee a season finale after the Las Vegas Grand Prix in any scenario.
Building the grandstands and continuing all preparations without final confirmation of a race logically brings financial risks, but sources in the paddock say F1 is covering all those risks. This means F1 is fully paying for the preparations – including the construction of the temporary grandstands – and that Imola will not face any financial risk regardless of the outcome.
In the scenario that the Imola option ultimately proves unnecessary, this approach will cost F1 money, but the sport has no choice. After all, if the situation in the Middle East escalates further a month before the scheduled races in Qatar and Abu Dhabi, F1 cannot afford not to have a plan B ready to go.
This also underlines that F1 wants to wait as long as possible before making a final decision, while it should not be forgotten how financially attractive the final two race weekends in the Middle East are.
F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali initially said a decision would be made in mid-September, but the situation has changed since then.
Several team principals currently point to mid-October as the new timeframe for clarity, although F1 stresses that there is no hard deadline. From a logistical perspective, there is still relatively little urgency at this stage, as long as Imola is fully ready to step in on the first weekend of December.
The teams have also been informed of this reality and are not particularly concerned for now, several team principals stressed during Thursday’s press conference in Baku.
“I believe that Stefano was targeting to tell us in mid-October, right? So, we all know what the situation is”, Haas team boss Ayao Komatsu said.
“I believe that Imola is getting ready in case we have to do it. I think the challenges are, for instance, things like European motorhome structure, etcetera. All those people who look after them, they have a winter job, so we need to find alternative people to do that.
“But I’m sure we all, as a family, community, will make sure if we have to do that, that will happen. But hopefully, as a baseline, we can go to Qatar and Abu Dhabi. That would be really good.”
Audi team principal Mattia Binotto shares the same view and confirms that F1 teams should normally be informed by F1 around mid-October.
“As we discussed during the F1 Commission last Monday, mid-October is the last call for such a decision.”
Binotto does not see the potentially low temperatures as an obstacle to a possible season finale in Imola.
“The main challenges are more organisation and logistics, I would think. From a technical point, often we may say wintertime, snow tyres, but at the end, as a matter of fact, the average temperature in Imola in that time of the year is hotter than Las Vegas by the time we’ve got the race in Las Vegas.
