SIC clears the air over F1 return

Aug 20, 2025

The Sepang International Circuit has clarified recent reports, claiming that it's trying to bring Formula 1 back to Malaysia.  

It acknowledged that F1 was a huge part of its history, but the process to regain hosting rights is too complex and expensive.  

The circuit says instead it is focusing on extending its MotoGP contract, which is set to expire next year. 

It's because MotoGP continues to resonate strongly with Malaysian fans, and is more accessible for both spectators and organisers.

It's believed that the Blues are especially in need of a new defender after Levi Colwill suffered a serious knee injury.
