Why was the race in Malaysia?
The story summary has a geographical error. The Bahrain Grand Prix is always held in Bahrain, a small island nation in the Persian Gulf. Malaysia last hosted a Formula 1 race in 2017, at the Sepang International Circuit. It's easy to confuse race locations, but the Bahrain GP is a fixture on its home circuit.
