Formula 1's Bahrain Grand Prix is being held this year at Malaysia's Sepang circuit after the race was relocated from Bahrain due to tensions in the Middle East, according to Anadolu Agency.
Practice sessions got underway as part of the three-day event, which is scheduled to run through Sunday. The relocation marks a departure from the race's usual home, reflecting the impact of regional instability on the sport's calendar.
Teams and drivers are adapting to the Sepang circuit, a venue with its own distinct characteristics compared with the Bahrain International Circuit where the Grand Prix is typically held.
Organizers have not indicated whether the relocation to Malaysia will extend beyond this edition of the race, as the situation in the Middle East continues to factor into planning for international sporting events in the region.
