Mercedes reveals: Sepang International Circuit returns to Formula 1 calendar
Em seguida, the Malaysian venue last hosted a Formula 1 world championship event in 2017, ending an initial nineteen-year run that began in 1999 under the title sponsorship of Petronas. De acordo com as apurações, while the current grand prix carries the official designation of the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia, the event serves as a direct replacement for the Sakhir round originally scheduled for April. Por outro lado, geopolitical instability and escalating military conflicts across the Middle East led Formula 1 management, the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile, and relevant authorities to relocate the race to Sepang while maintaining the original race name on the 2026 calendar. Especialistas destacam que novas atualizações sobre Mercedes reveals devem surgir em breve.
The temporary relocation bridges a nine-year absence for the Malaysian facility, which previously held 19 Grands Prix between 1999 and 2017. For Mercedes, racing at Sepang represents a home fixture for title partner Petronas, the Malaysian state energy enterprise that has served as the team’s primary backer since the German marque revived its factory Formula 1 operation in 2010. The team previously ran an emerald-dominated livery during the 2024 Singapore Grand Prix to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of Petronas.

Mercedes introduces major technical updates on W17 chassis
Beyond visual changes, the German team confirmed it will introduce a comprehensive technical update package on the W17 chassis in Sepang, representing its first substantial aerodynamic and mechanical development rollout since the Canadian Grand Prix. The engineering team in Brackley focused on rectifying recent competitive deficits observed across conventional circuits, where the squad struggled to match front-running pace during qualifying trim.
“We are bringing an update package this weekend, and that is an important step for us. At the more representative circuits in recent races, we have not been where we would like. Monza and Baku presented unique challenges, but at more conventional tracks we have not been in the fight for pole position. We know that and are working hard to change it,” Wolff stated regarding the team’s performance objectives.

Assessing the physical demands awaiting drivers Russell and Antonelli, Wolff noted that the 5.543-kilometre layout will present an uncompromising benchmark for the revised package under extreme tropical weather conditions. “Sepang is a demanding circuit that puts the car to the test in every aspect. You need performance through the high-speed corners, good traction, strong tyre management, and consistency in hot and challenging conditions. It is one of the most complete tests on the calendar,” Wolff added.
