Sepang International Circuit Set for F1 Return as Malaysia Hosts Bahrain Grand Prix
Sepang prepares for Formula 1 comeback
Formula 1 is set to return to the Sepang International Circuit this year, marking the track’s first appearance on the calendar in almost a decade. The Malaysian venue’s comeback was highlighted by Formula 1 in a new quiz feature covering the circuit’s history and memorable moments.

The announcement restores one of Formula 1’s most recognisable venues to the schedule. Sepang has long been known for its demanding layout, high temperatures and heavy tropical rainfall, all of which have contributed to several memorable races since the circuit first welcomed F1.
Domenicali welcomes the return
F1 President and CEO Stefano Domenicali called the news “fantastic news for our fans,” underlining the significance of bringing the championship back to Malaysia.
The return gives fans a chance to revisit a circuit that has been absent from the calendar for nearly 10 years. Formula 1’s quiz asks readers to test their knowledge of the track’s history, its races and the moments that have helped make Sepang a notable part of the championship’s past.
A new chapter for a familiar venue
Sepang’s return adds another chapter to the circuit’s place in Formula 1 history. The venue’s combination of long straights, technical corners and unpredictable weather has traditionally created a distinctive challenge for teams and drivers.
With the Malaysian round back on the schedule, attention will turn to how the current generation of cars performs at a circuit that has not hosted a Formula 1 race for almost a decade.
