Formula 1 is set to race in Malaysia this weekend for the first time since 2017, with the Sepang International Circuit hosting the rescheduled Bahrain Grand Prix. Oscar Piastri has described the circuit surface as resembling sandpaper, warning that tyre degradation will be a defining challenge for all competitors.
A Nine-Year Comeback for Sepang
Formula 1 is heading back to Malaysia's Sepang International Circuit after a nine-year absence, with the Bahrain Grand Prix relocated from Sakhir due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. The 5.543-kilometre track, which first appeared on the calendar in 1999, last hosted an F1 race in 2017 before the Malaysian government cited declining returns as the reason for its withdrawal. This weekend marks a significant return for the venue, which combines long straights with several high-speed corners over a 56-lap race distance.
Liberty Media confirmed the decision to host the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia, citing the Iran war and regional instability as key factors in the move. The circuit has not been on the F1 schedule since 2017, making this a rare and notable event for fans and drivers alike. The rescheduling underscores the growing challenges facing Formula 1 in maintaining its global calendar amid geopolitical uncertainties.
Drivers Face Unfamiliar and Abrasive Surface
Only 10 of the 22 drivers on the grid have previously raced in Malaysia, meaning many competitors will be navigating the track for the first time. World champion Lando Norris and his McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri are among those learning the circuit, with Piastri describing the surface as looking like sandpaper and expecting significant tyre degradation. Pirelli has also warned teams to prepare for challenging conditions, noting the track's roughness is comparable to Bahrain's abrasive tarmac.
Piastri highlighted that recent rain may have washed away any track preparation, adding that the weekend will be tough for everyone. The abrasive surface is expected to play a major role in race strategy, with tyre management likely becoming a critical factor. Drivers will need to adapt quickly to the unique characteristics of the Sepang circuit, which could influence overtaking opportunities and overall race dynamics.
Wet Weather Could Test the 2026 Cars
Championship leader Kimi Antonelli believes Sepang's rough tarmac could prove ideal for testing the sport's 2026 cars in wet conditions. He noted that the surface is so open that standing water is minimal unless heavy rain occurs, reducing the risk of aquaplaning. Antonelli described the track as the roughest tarmac he has ever seen, suggesting it could provide a unique opportunity to evaluate the new regulations under challenging weather.
Thunderstorms are common in Malaysia, with the tropical climate regularly producing heavy afternoon showers and lightning storms. Antonelli remarked that if it rains normally, the track would be the best venue to try the 2026 cars for the first time in wet conditions. The combination of abrasive surface and potential rain adds an extra layer of excitement and unpredictability to this weekend's event.
