F2驳斥因伊朗战争导致赛季提前结束的说法
F2首席执行官米歇尔坚称收官轮将按计划进行，不会追溯性地加冕冠军
美国与以色列于2月下旬发动的冲突导致中东局势不稳。在整体局势中影响较小的后果之一是对赛历的冲击：F2的巴林站和沙特站被迈阿密站和蒙特利尔站替代，因为该系列赛与F1同场举行。
据了解，F1和赛事组织者都希望按计划举办这些赛事，并且出于明显的财务原因，也不愿单方面取消它们。尽管如此，世界锦标赛一直在准备应急计划，如果这两场大奖赛无法举行，伊莫拉准备在12月的第一个周末顶替。
与此同时，二级方程式在9月底为其巴库赛程增加了一场比赛，这正是一级方程式在马德里赛季收官战中所做的，以弥补巴林站的损失——因此巴库的决定被视为为潜在取消做准备的一种方式。
然而，米歇尔坚称锦标赛的计划没有改变：“目前——我认为这完全清楚——卡塔尔和阿布扎比在赛历上，我们将在卡塔尔和阿布扎比完成锦标赛。
“我们在这方面跟随一级方程式。一级方程式完全了解所有情况以及需要做什么，以确保我们在最佳条件下进行这两场比赛——情况将会如此。
“由于我们有一个精彩的赛季要收尾，有很多车手参与，三位车手在争夺总冠军，我们非常期待在卡塔尔和阿布扎比进行最后两场比赛。”
有趣的是，科尔顿·赫塔的一句随口评论暗示，今年F2可能不会再有更多比赛了。“不确定这是否是[本赛季]最后一场，或者我们还有更多比赛，但我们会像还有两场比赛要跑一样继续努力，”这位美国人在巴库对Motorsport.com表示。
Motorsport.com将这一评论转达给米歇尔，随后他被问及如果卡塔尔和阿布扎比被取消，是否会有替代比赛，但这位法国人仍然坚定：“嗯，卡塔尔和阿布扎比不会被取消。”
“你知道，车手们总是对很多事情有自己的看法。但我现在告诉你，我们肯定想在那里结束赛季。一级方程式赛车也是这样做的，我们也是如此。”
然而，当被追问冠军是否可能在巴库不知不觉地加冕——若如此，积分榜领先者将是拉斐尔·卡马拉——米歇尔回应道：“你知道，那样会非常令人遗憾，我们不妨这么说。
“我不认为那会发生——说实话，那不会发生。因为我同意你的看法，回过头来说‘哦，顺便说一下，冠军一个月前就已经确定了，但我们没能给你加冕’，那可不怎么好。所以，是的，我们绝对希望以现在的状态完成锦标赛。”
哈斯车队新签下的卡马拉以207分领跑积分榜，红牛青训车手尼古拉·佐洛夫以200分紧随其后，阿尔派培养的车手亚历克斯·邓恩以189分位列第三。
如果再有一轮比赛，这三人将是唯一有机会争夺冠军的车手，而如果卡塔尔和阿布扎比按计划举行，加布里埃莱·米尼、迪诺·贝加诺维奇和诺埃尔·莱昂也将有微小的机会。

F2 rebuffs suggestion its title race might be over because of the Iran war
F2 CEO Michel insists the final rounds are happening as planned and there won’t be a retroactively crowned champion
Formula 2 CEO Bruno Michel has stated the 2026 season-concluding Qatar and Abu Dhabi rounds “will not be cancelled”, despite the threat of the Iran war.
The conflict, which was started by United States and Israel strikes in late February, has destabilised the Middle East. Some of the lesser consequences in the grand scheme of things were the impact on racing calendars, with F2’s Bahrain and Saudi rounds replaced by races in Miami and Montreal, as the series races alongside Formula 1.
F1 and race organisers are understood to be both hopeful to run the events as planned and keen not to unilaterally cancel them, for evident financial reasons. Still, the world championship has been preparing a contingency plan, with Imola ready to step in on the first weekend of December, in case those two grands prix can’t happen.
Meanwhile, Formula 2 added a race to its Baku schedule in late September, which is exactly what Formula 3 did at its Madrid season finale to compensate for the loss of its Bahrain round – so the Baku decision was viewed as a way to prepare for potential cancellations.
However, Michel insists the championship’s plans are unchanged: “For the moment – and I think it's completely clear – Qatar and Abu Dhabi are on the calendar, and we are going to finish the championship in Qatar and in Abu Dhabi.
“We're following Formula 1 on that. Formula 1 is completely aware of all the situation and what needs to be done to make sure that we exercise those two races in the best conditions – which will be the case.
“Since we have a fantastic championship to finish with a lot of drivers, three drivers fighting for the title, we're really looking forward to have those last two races in Qatar and in Abu Dhabi.”
Interestingly, a throwaway comment made by Colton Herta suggested there may not be any further racing at all in F2 this year. “Unsure if that's the last one [of the season] or if we have more, but we'll keep working like we have two more races to do,” the American told Motorsport.com in Baku.
This comment was put to Michel by Motorsport.com and he was then asked if there would be replacement races in the event that Qatar and Abu Dhabi were cancelled, but the Frenchman remained adamant: “Well, Qatar and Abu Dhabi will not be cancelled.
“You know, the drivers always have an opinion on a lot of things. But I tell you now, we want to finish the season there for sure. That's what Formula 1 is doing as well and that's what we're doing too.”
However, pressed on whether the champion might have unknowingly been crowned in Baku – in which case it would be standings leader Rafael Camara – Michel responded: “You know, that would be very sad, let's put it that way.
“I don't think it's going to happen – honestly, it's not going to happen. Because I agree with you, going back and saying, ‘Oh, by the way, the champion has been declared a month ago, but we couldn't crown you’, would not be very good. So, yes, we absolutely want to finish the championship as it is now.”
New Haas signing Camara is leading the championship with 207 points to Red Bull junior Nikola Tsolov’s 200 and Alpine protege Alex Dunne’s 189.
The trio would be the only drivers with a shot at the title if there were one more round, while Gabriele Mini, Dino Beganovic and Noel Leon will also have an outside chance if Qatar and Abu Dhabi take place as planned.
