Prime minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has announced that Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM) will broadcast the Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia live. This is good news for those who didn’t manage to get a ticket or are not subscribed to a streaming service that shows the race.
“I hope this live broadcast will give Malaysians in all corners of the country the opportunity to feel the thrill of world-class racing at Sepang International Circuit (SIC),” Anwar said in a Facebook post today. The broadcast was made possible thanks to a collaboration with beIN Sports.
F1’s return to Sepang comes after a nine-year hiatus, with the race weekend already up and running from October 2 to 4. Friday (October 2) will feature two free practice sessions, while the third practice session and qualifying takes place on Saturday (October 3). The 56-lap main race is on Sunday and starts at 3pm.
