时隔九年F1重返雪邦:安瓦尔与巴林王储走维修道,为“在马来西亚举行的巴林大奖赛”揭幕周末

雪邦——10月1日,马来西亚总理安瓦尔·易卜拉欣与巴林王储兼首相萨勒曼·本·哈马德·阿勒哈利法一同参加了雪邦国际赛车场的维修道漫步活动,为10月2日至4日举行的2026年一级方程式巴林大奖赛(在马来西亚举行)做准备。这意味着F1在阔别九年后重返雪邦——这条赛道上次举办大奖赛还是2017年。
今年7月,F1确认:因中东局势,2026年巴林大奖赛改由马来西亚雪邦承办,赛期10月2日至4日,协议由F1、国际汽联(FIA)与马来西亚、巴林两国政府达成。雪邦就此成为这项巴林赛事的临时主场。对马来西亚而言,这是向全球电视观众展示其大型赛事承办能力的窗口,也给吉隆坡周边的酒店、餐饮和旅游业带来直接客流。
安瓦尔在活动上与巴林王储讨论了赛事筹备情况。马来西亚航空等本地企业已推出串联行程:车迷可先在雪邦看巴林大奖赛,再衔接10月9日至11日的新加坡大奖赛,吉隆坡是两站之间的连接枢纽,形成东南亚少见的F1“双赛周”。
雪邦国际赛车场位于吉隆坡国际机场旁,1999年建成,曾是F1版图中以炎热多雨著称的一站。本周末的比赛天气预报同样不排除降雨。对马来西亚华人车迷社群和本地商家来说,F1的回归既是体育盛事,也是久违的国际曝光机会。

F1 Returns to Sepang After Nine Years: Anwar Walks the Pit Lane with Bahrain's Crown Prince Ahead of the Bahrain GP in Malaysia
SEPANG, Malaysia — On October 1, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim joined Bahrain's Crown Prince and Prime Minister, Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, for a pit lane walk at the Sepang International Circuit, ahead of the 2026 Formula 1 Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia, to be held from October 2 to 4. The event marks Formula 1's return to Sepang after nine years — the circuit last hosted a grand prix in 2017.
In July, Formula 1 confirmed that Malaysia would host the 2026 Bahrain Grand Prix from October 2 to 4, following an agreement between F1, the FIA, and the governments of Malaysia and Bahrain, after the situation in the Middle East made the original venue unusable. Sepang thus becomes the temporary home of the Bahraini race. For Malaysia, it is a chance to show a global television audience its capacity to stage major events, and a direct boost for hotels, restaurants and tourism businesses around Kuala Lumpur.
Anwar discussed hosting preparations with the Bahraini Crown Prince during the walk. Local carriers such as Malaysia Airlines have packaged the Southeast Asian double-header: fans can watch the Bahrain GP at Sepang and then continue to the Singapore Grand Prix on October 9–11, with Kuala Lumpur as the connecting hub.
The Sepang International Circuit, next to Kuala Lumpur International Airport, opened in 1999 and was long known on the F1 calendar for heat and sudden rain — and this weekend's forecasts again leave rain in play. For Malaysia's Chinese car-racing fans and local businesses, F1's return is both a sporting festival and a rare burst of international exposure; traffic and weather arrangements are the practical details spectators are advised to check in advance.
