Motorsport.com reports that Malaysia is being pitched as the ideal venue for Formula 1's first-ever wet-weather race in 2026. The argument centres on the country's tropical climate, which makes rain during races a realistic prospect, unlike many circuits on the current calendar where wet running is rare. The discussion comes as F1 considers adding dedicated wet-weather events to its future schedule.

Why now: Fans and media are debating proposals to introduce F1's first purpose-chosen wet-weather race in 2026, with Malaysia's rainy climate making it a leading candidate.
