F1 2026赛季收官战存变数 伊莫拉备选
F1正等待中东局势明朗,以决定2026赛季收官阶段是否按计划在卡塔尔和阿布扎比举行;伊莫拉已开始准备工作,作为必要时替换收官战地点的备选方案。
伊莫拉正在进行准备工作,以防F1需要更换赛季收官战的举办地,但目前的意图仍是继续在卡塔尔和阿布扎比举行比赛。
鉴于今年早些时候迫使巴林和沙特阿拉伯大奖赛取消的持续冲突,F1正在观望中东局势如何发展。
7月底,F1首席执行官斯特凡诺·多梅尼卡利表示:“如果局势未能在我们相信应该在9月中旬之前以我们认为应该的方式得到解决,我们将做出决定。”
然而,在本周一F1委员会讨论此事后,各车队预计将在10月中旬前得到答复。
由于物流原因,这是局势需要得到解决的时间点——届时即便是海运至卡塔尔,对11月底的比赛来说也已十分紧张。
F1希望按计划举行卡塔尔和阿布扎比两站比赛,目前这些赛事的准备工作仍在继续,预期它们将如期举行。
但锦标赛无法承受在短时间内发生变化,从而在11月21日拉斯维加斯站之后没有收官战备选方案的情况。
这意味着F1已准备好B计划,据信是伊莫拉——相关工作已经开始,以确保这条意大利赛道在需要时能够承办比赛。
如果最终没有更换至伊莫拉,F1将承担这些工作的费用——包括搭建看台——以保证在需要时有一个随时可用的替代方案。
“我相信伊莫拉正在做准备,以防我们不得不这样做,”哈斯车队领队小松礼雄说。
“我认为挑战在于,例如欧洲房车结构之类的东西——所有照看这些的人,他们冬天有工作,所以我们需要找替代人员来做这些。”
奥迪老板马蒂亚·比诺托也淡化了12月在意大利比赛的天气担忧。
他说,虽然冬天可能会有关于“雪地轮胎”的讨论,“但事实上,伊莫拉每年那个时候的平均气温比(F1举办)拉斯维加斯(站时)更高”。
“而10月中旬,希望我们可能会做出正确的决定。”

Preparations are being made at Imola in case Formula 1 needs to switch its season finale venue but the intention is to continue with races in Qatar and Abu Dhabi.
F1 is waiting to see how events unfold in the Middle East given the ongoing conflict that forced the cancellation of the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian GPs earlier this year.
At the end of July F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali said that "if the situation will not be cleared the way that we believe it should be before the middle of September, we will take the decision".
However, after it was discussed in the F1 Commission on Monday this week, teams are expecting to get an answer by mid-October.
This is the point at which the situation needs to be settled for logistical reasons – even sea freight to Qatar by that point will be cutting it fine for a race at the end of November.
F1 wants to hold the Qatar and Abu Dhabi races as planned and currently preparations for those events continue on the expectation they will go ahead.
But the championship cannot afford for this to change at short notice and leave it without a contingency for a finale after the Las Vegas round on November 21.
That means it has readied a Plan B, understood to be Imola - and work has started to ensure the Italian circuit is able to host a race if needed.
F1 will cover the costs of this work – which includes setting up grandstands – if a switch to Imola does not happen, to guarantee there is a ready-to-go alternative it can turn to if required.
"I believe that Imola is getting ready in case we have to do it," said Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu.
"I think the challenges are, for instance, things like European motorhome structure, etc – all those people who look after them, they have a winter job, so we need to find alternative people to do that."
Audi boss Mattia Binotto also played down the weather concerns over a December race in Italy.
He said that while there may be talk about "snow tyres" in wintertime "as a matter of fact, the average temperature in Imola in that time of the year is hotter than [when F1 races in] Las Vegas".
"And mid-October, hopefully we may do the right decision."
