It has been announced that this year’s Malaysian Grand Prix is to be the country’s 19 the and last, a decision taken jointly by Formula 1 and Sepang International Circuit (SIC).
Malaysia joined the Formula 1 calendar in 1999
Sean Bratches, Managing Director, Commercial Operations, Formula 1 commented, “It’s always sad to say goodbye to a member of the Formula 1 family. Over nearly two decades, the Malaysian Formula 1 fans have proven themselves to be some of the sport’s most passionate supporters.
“As we said in Melbourne, we have big plans for bringing our global fan base closer to the sport than ever before, providing an enhanced digital experience and creating new events. We’re looking forward to talking more about these plans as the season progresses.
“We will have 21 exciting events to look forward to in the 2018 calendar, with the additions of the French and German races. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the Sepang International Circuit for their hospitality and professionalism over the years, and their ongoing commitment to motorsport.”
Both Formula 1 and SIC say they are committed to make this year’s event in October a fitting finale for the ground-breaking circuit.
