F1's First Wet Race Could Be in Malaysia 2026

Despite reaching the 16th round of the 2026 season, Formula 1 has yet to stage a wet-weather race under the new regulations or even a wet session. While rain has threatened on several occasions, the on-track action has remained unaffected.

Following initial safety concerns in wet conditions, the FIA implemented several regulatory changes this year. Malaysia has emerged as the most suitable venue for F1's anticipated first wet race under the updated regulations, offering optimal conditions for this milestone event. sportbet.rodeo
