  "summary": "The Sepang International Circuit (SIC) chief executive officer, Azhan Shafriman Hanif, stepped in to assist fans who faced a long wait for shuttle buses following the second day of the Formula 1 (F1) Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix (GP) in Malaysia 2026. Fans praised Azhan and his team for managing the crowd and distributing mineral water, with some even describing his actions as an example of leadership. Earlier, there had been reports of congestion upon leaving SIC, with some fans waiting for lengthy periods for shuttle buses to parking areas and nearby transport hubs. In July, Formula 1 confirmed Malaysia as the host of the Gulf Air Bahrain GP from Oct 2 to 4, following an agreement between Formula 1, the International Automobile Federation (FIA), and the governments of Malaysia and Bahrain.",
