Malaysia’s Sepang Circuit Faces Heat-Hazard Designation Amid Rough Surface Concerns

The Formula 1 Bahrain Grand Prix, relocated to Malaysia’s Sepang circuit due to the Middle East conflict, has been officially designated a heat-hazard race. This is the third such designation of the 2026 season, following Austria and Italy. Drivers face forecast temperatures between 31C and 33C, high humidity, and potential rain. The heat-hazard status allows drivers to use in-car cooling systems, though some opt for ballast instead due to comfort issues. Meanwhile, concerns persist about the track’s rough surface, which could further challenge tire performance and driver comfort.
