    Informative. Only that he said that F1 was as physical as in the 80's, 90's as it is now which is simply not true.

    Esteban Ocon has fucking tiny armd and legs and not much muscle either. I think he can't do any of that.

    That's bullshit Schumacher wasn't a game changer for driver fitness, Senna was 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

    Love this!! Also, the balance of having an exceptionally strong body in whole yet no part is too "big" or "heavy" is just unbelievable and so lovely!

    Getting a "happy rush" out of hearing that MS was the gamechanger of fitness in F1 as he's always been and still is my F1 hero!

Verstappen DOMINANT as Antonelli extends title lead 🏎️ How the Bahrain GP in Malaysia unfolded!

Published

on



Max Verstappen never looked back from pole position to win the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia, securing his first victory of 2026.

Harry Benjamin, former Formula E driver Sam Bird and the BBC’s F1 correspondent Andrew Benson analyse how the Red Bull driver did it.

They also unpick a chaotic start to the race which was initially delayed by a tropical downpour, before a software issue affected most of the grid on the formation lap and caused another delay.

Plus, with George Russell being forced to retire, is it now only a matter of time before Kimi Antonelli secures his first world title? And how did Lewis Hamilton fight back to the podium after a miserable first few laps which saw him slip way down the field?

00:00       The most chaotic start in F1 history?
06:24       Max Verstappen dominant
09:45       Antonelli extends championship lead
16:11       Mercedes need to get on top of PU issues
