Formula One is set to return to Malaysia's Sepang circuit for the 2026 Bahrain Grand Prix on October 4. The event was previously scheduled in Bahrain but had to be rescheduled due to tensions arising from the US-Israel war against Iran (aljazeera.com).
Meanwhile, F1 is finalizing its contingency plans as the situation in the region remains tense. The move to Malaysia reflects the race organizers' effort to ensure the safety and continuity of events amid geopolitical uncertainties related to the Iran conflict (motorsport.com/autosport.com).
