The Bahrain Grand Prix will take place in Malaysia in 2026 after being rescheduled due to the war in Iran. George Russell recently won the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, reducing the championship gap to his Mercedes teammate Kimi Antonelli, who faced difficulties but managed to finish fifth after starting from P16.

The race weekend will feature practice sessions starting on October 2, followed by qualifying and the race on October 4. The Sepang International Circuit, known for its challenging layout and humid conditions, will host the event, marking its return to the Formula 1 calendar after a hiatus since 2017.
