What can we expect from the 2026 Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia? Formula 1 is returning to the Sepang F1 track for the first time since 2017, but this isn’t the Malaysian Grand Prix — Malaysia is hosting the Bahrain Grand Prix.
In this preview, I take you behind the scenes at Sepang to see how the circuit and paddock are being transformed for the 2026 Bahrain F1 Malaysia weekend. We’ll look at the track, what has changed since F1 last raced here, and the extreme heat, humidity, potential rain and unpredictable Malaysia haze that could make this one of the most fascinating weekends of F1 2026. Formula 1 itself highlights Sepang’s intense heat, humidity and potential for sudden tropical downpours.
