In 2026, Formula 1 returns to Sepang International Circuit as it hosts the Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia, keeping Bahrain’s race on the calendar while bringing F1 back to one of its most recognisable venues.
Known for its fast, flowing layout, long straights, and challenging mix of corners, Sepang has a history of dramatic races, changeable weather, and passionate fans. Max Verstappen was the last driver to win a Formula 1 Grand Prix there in 2017.
The 2026 event runs under the Bahrain Grand Prix banner with Gulf Air as title partner and sits between the Azerbaijan and Singapore Grands Prix as part of a wider Asian leg of the calendar.
Across the weekend, visitors can expect F1 practice, qualifying, the Grand Prix itself, and selected support categories, alongside fan zones, hospitality, and partner activations that highlight both Bahrain’s title role and Malaysia as an event and tourism destination. Many attendees may treat the race as a combined motorsport and travel itinerary, pairing track action at Sepang with hotel stays, dining, meetings, and sightseeing in Kuala Lumpur and the surrounding region.
