Formula 1 is set to head to Malaysia in October for the first time since 2017 to step in for the previously cancelled race in Bahrain, which was set to take place in April.

Both races were scheduled to take place in April, but a decision has now been made to cancel them due to the ongoing war in the Middle East.

Clinched at the final race of the WEC season in Bahrain, the Manufacturers’ crown is also the first major title to head back to Maranello since 2008 in Formula 1.

Button’s illustrious professional career will finish after the upcoming 8 Hours of Bahrain race.
