Formula 1 confirms Malaysia return as Sepang added to 2026 calendar for Bahrain Grand Prix

Formula 1 has confirmed that the Sepang International Circuit will return to the calendar later this year after Malaysia was announced as the host venue for the postponed Bahrain Grand Prix.

The race, officially titled the Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia, will take place from October 2-4, filling the gap left after the original Bahrain event was postponed earlier this season due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.

The revised schedule remains subject to final agreements and approval from the FIA World Motor Sport Council.
