Malaysia could be brought back onto the Formula One calendar this year if the conflict involving Iran leads to further disruption, according to a report published Thursday. The suggestion points to a potential late change in the schedule if current plans become harder to maintain.
The report indicates that Formula One may need backup options as it monitors how wider regional tensions could affect the championship. In situations like this, organizers often look for circuits that could step in quickly to keep the season on track.
Malaysia is seen as a plausible alternative because of its previous connection to Formula One, making it a venue that could be considered for a short-notice return. Any such move would depend on whether the conflict creates enough complications to force changes to the existing calendar.
There has been no official confirmation of a switch, but the report highlights how global events can put pressure on major sporting schedules. For now, Malaysia remains a possible contingency plan if Formula One faces further problems later this season.
