Sepang announce secret circuit changes

Malaysia's F1 chief Razlan Razali has revealed that the Sepang circuit has undergone significant changes ahead of the 2016 race.

The race is usually one of the first in the calendar, but was moved to host round sixteen of the 2016 season. In a bid to enhance more on-track overtaking, it has been announced that certain corners have been modified.

"There will be some unknowns for the teams and drivers as we've changed the dynamics of the circuit a little bit at the various turns," Razali confirmed.

"It will be as if they've come to the Sepang circuit for the first time."

Singapore's race is on 18 September, with Malaysia taking place two weeks later. The F1 freight will be brought to Malaysia by the road, which is the first time it has been done so in the region.
