F1 calendar disruption: Sepang, Imola, Hockenheim, and team strain

Bahrain GP moved to Sepang due to Middle East conflict; Imola considered as late-season backup. F1 officially states Qatar and Abu Dhabi remain on schedule with a mid-September review; if cancelled, season ends in Europe (likely Imola). Domenicali confirms 2026 season will not end in Las Vegas. Potential 9 races in 11 weeks causing team strain. Hockenheim in talks with F1 about returning; €250M investment needed but hosting fees remain barrier; Germany's relevance renewed with Audi/Mercedes on grid and Zandvoort leaving. SE Asia expansion includes Singapore exhibition and Thailand plans.
