Malaysia will host the 2026 Bahrain Grand Prix at the Sepang circuit
The racing weekend takes place from 2 to 4 October, slotting in between the Azerbaijan and Singapore rounds. F1 bosses agreed the switch with both governments after officials warned the original event would have been cancelled because of regional issues. It brings the sport back to a popular track where Max Verstappen took the final victory back in 2017.
