   Sepang International Circuit will stage the Bahrain Grand Prix from 2 to 4 October, the first time a Formula 1 race carrying another country's name is held in Malaysia. Harian Metro lists historical precedents such as the San Marino GP at Imola, the Swiss GP at Dijon and the Luxembourg GP at the Nurburgring, and says Sepang was chosen as the alternative venue after the Bahrain GP was cancelled earlier this season over geopolitical tensions in West Asia.
