The 2026 Bahrain Grand Prix took place at Sepang, where a downpour and a software fault delayed the start before Max Verstappen gave Red Bull Ford Powertrains its first win. Vincenzo and Lali break down the formation lap failure, the FIA’s update to all 22 cars, and Ferrari’s tire call that left Lewis Hamilton fighting back to third.
They also discuss Kimi Antonelli’s championship lead, George Russell’s retirement, Liam Lawson’s drive, and whether this one-off race could bring F1 back to Malaysia. Sepang delivered on the track. A permanent return will come down to the money.
