One of the alternatives that had been circulated was moving the UAE race to Imola in Italy.
The Italian official told the French channel "Canal+" on the sidelines of the Bahrain Grand Prix—which was scheduled to take place in the spring before being moved this week to the Sepang circuit in Malaysia—"Based on the information available to us, everything is confirmed for holding the two races in Qatar and Abu Dhabi," the capital of the United Arab Emirates.
The head of the premier motorsport category reiterated to Sky Sport Italia "the calendar of the final two rounds" of the season, scheduled for November 29 and December 6 in Qatar and Abu Dhabi, two Gulf nations that have been affected for months by the military conflict raging in the region.
Domenicali stated that he had received "assurances that everything is fine," confirming that "the teams and drivers are being briefed with complete transparency," in case the situation deteriorates further before the end of the year.
Hosting a single Formula 1 race requires a budget of tens of millions of dollars.
Domenicali explained to "Canal+" that "99% of the tickets" for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix have been sold, pointing out that the event is enjoying "great enthusiasm."
It remains to be seen how the drivers will react to this announcement.
Max Verstappen, who will start from pole position on Sunday in Malaysia, had expressed strong reservations last week via the "Viaplay" channel regarding racing in Gulf country circuits.
The famously outspoken Dutchman said, "Usually I am happy to go to Qatar and Abu Dhabi, but there is a war in the region, and if certain countries are involved in a conflict, I don't think we should go there."
At a press conference held Thursday in Sepang, the four-time world champion said in a diplomatic tone that he relies on "the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) and Formula 1 to make the right decision."
One of the alternatives that was circulated was moving the UAE race to Imola in Italy.

In another motorsport championship, the World Endurance Championship (WEC) decided to replace the Bahrain and Qatar rounds with two races in Barcelona, Spain, and Monza, Italy, at the end of the season.
