SINGAPORE (AFP) – Formula One (F1) is unlikely to return to Malaysia anytime soon as the government focusses its efforts on rebuilding the economy from the ravages of the coronavirus pandemic, the circuit’s boss said.
Chief Executive Azhan Shafriman Hanif of the Sepang International Circuit, which used to host the race, told reporters in Singapore late on Wednesday the Malaysian government may reconsider its options after two to three years.
The Sepang track, located outside the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur, first hosted the race in 1999, with the last Grand Prix held there in 2017.
