Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia

[Mark]

What do we think of Sepang coming back to the calendar?

It's strange that it's still going to be called the Bahrain Grand Prix when it's nowhere near Bahrain.

A really good circuit. I was hoping for Portimao, but this is just as good.

I mean this is only a replacement for Bahrain. There still have to be replacements for Qatar and Abu Dhabi, probably replaced by a single race

Supposedly Imola but at the end of November or start of December that's madness it's likely to be 5-10C but could be icy. Portimao will be more like 15C but not sure on the status as I have heard they are in the middle of revamping the facilities so may not be ready for a 2026 race.

I always liked Malaysia myself, and am glad to have it back. And being that it's not another track, I won't refer to it by the name of another track.
