Malaysia drops off F1 calendar for 2018

The Malaysian Grand Prix at Sepang will not feature on the 2018 Formula 1 calendar, following a joint decision between the sport's senior figures and officials at the venue, it has been announced.

Malaysia joined the calendar in 1999 but Sepang chiefs indicated recently that it did not view Formula 1 as remaining part of its long-term future, and the 2017 race, which will take place in October, will be the last in the country, terminating its deal one year early.

A 2018 Formula 1 calendar has not yet been finalised, but the removal of Malaysia, allied to the return of events in France and Germany, means next year's roster is set to be formed of 21 races, matching the record-breaking length of 2016's schedule.

"It’s always sad to say goodbye to a member of the Formula 1 family,” commented Sean Bratches, Managing Director, Commercial Operations, Formula 1.

“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."

Hockenheim's bi-annual contract to host the German Grand Prix means it returns for 2018, though its long-term future remains uncertain.

France, meanwhile, makes a comeback after a decade-long absence, when Magny Cours last hosted a race, with the sport to visit Paul Ricard for the first time since 1990.
