# Motorsport: Malaysia has ruled out bringing back Formula One in the near future, citing costs and an already packed racing calendar. The Southeast Asian nation first hosted an F1 race in 1999 at its Sepang International Circuit, with the last grand prix held there in 2017. The circuit is still staging a MotoGP race annually. Malaysia’s Sports minister Hannah Yeoh says they will need corporate entities that are willing to shoulder the costs if the country is to host an F1 race again.
