Formula 1 organizers have announced changes to the 2026 race calendar, relocating the Bahrain Grand Prix to Malaysia's Sepang International Circuit. The original race was canceled in April due to escalating security threats in the Middle East. The Sepang track, which has previously hosted F1 events, will now serve as the replacement venue for the 2026 season. The exact date for the Malaysian round has not yet been confirmed, but it is expected to take place later in the year.
