SEPANG:

Motor racing fans who had endured a long wait for shuttle buses after watching qualifying races at the Bahrain Grand Prix here were treated to bottles of mineral water by Sepang international circuit boss Azhan Shafriman Hanif.

Azhan and his team were seen managing the crowd and distributing bottles of water after some visitors had reportedly fainted, according to Threads user @fatinsurayaa. Another user, @nrfaofdiaries, wrote: “Honestly, seeing this makes me emotional. Despite everything that happened, SIC’s CEO himself stepped in.”

Several fans praised the improved crowd and traffic management at the circuit today, highlighting smoother queues, dedicated lanes for shuttle buses and a stronger presence of staff, marshals and police.

Sepang circuit had come under criticism on Friday for congestion and lengthy waits for shuttle buses to parking areas and nearby transport hubs.

The Bahrain GP is being held in Malaysia after being cancelled earlier this year because of the conflict in the Gulf. - FMT
