SEPANG — Formula 1 (F1) fans have praised the improved crowd and traffic management at the Sepang International Circuit (SIC) here today, following congestion and long queues reported after yesterday’s opening day of the Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia 2026.
Several fans took to social media to highlight smoother queues, dedicated lanes for shuttle buses and a stronger presence of staff, marshals and police to manage crowds and traffic.
A Threads user, @tanissha_.26, commended the arrangements, particularly the dedicated lanes and improved coordination for shuttle buses.
“Good job on crowd control today. Smooth queue, no tug of war. Dedicated lane for shuttle buses. Shut off the exit for only shuttle buses, tons of crew, marshall, police, proper instructions and control. Thank you so much for taking in control,” the user said.
Another user, @edadoodle, praised the queue management and assistance provided by staff at the KLIA (Kuala Lumpur International Airport) Transit station and shuttle point.
“Thank you @malaysiaairports the line is super fast, so much bus queueing up for us and there’s a lot of staff guiding us from the KLIA Transit train station to the shuttle point. I lined up at 9.15am and already on the way to @sepangcircuit by 9.25am,” it said.
