The situation in the Middle East has already cost Formula 1 a pair of races in the early part of the season, but it could also lead to a former fan-favorite track making a shock return.

A new report from ESPN says that Malaysia's Sepang Circuit is in the running to make a return if the series can't schedule a make-up date for the Bahrain Grand Prix.

The Bahrain Grand Prix and Saudi Arabian Grand Prix were both scheduled for April, but the ongoing conflict in the Middle East forced F1 to take both off the calendar, causing a month-long gap in the schedule.
