Verstappen DOMINANT as Antonelli extends title lead 🏎️ How the Bahrain GP in Malaysia unfolded!
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
18:10 Lewis Hamilton’s remarkable recovery drive

Webb and his cronies in the PGMOL should be heavily fined, and idiots in the VAR booth FIRED for their decisions. They have ruined so many games this prem term with their bad calls costing teams theoretical millions in revenue lost in standing positions. F PGMOL, WEBB and the FA.

Howard, just implement the referee talk back system with or without FIFA's approval, they won't do anything. If they touch the Saudi league, the Saudi's will threaten to put on their own world cup, with 4 billion in prize money. The Saudi's can get rid of irrelevant FIFA in the way that Kerry Packer rolled the ICC and the ACB.
Money talks, BS walks… FIFA is a dinosaur, run by crusty old men behind desks, and it has outgrown its usefulness.

They never seem to add enough injury time for time wasted in injury time. We need a way to cut down on diving and feigning injury as well.

they dont want to broadcast the referee speaking to the VAR because they dont want to answer for their crimes

So incompetent refs and VAR staff are going to clamp down on players bending the rules? Pot, kettle ?

All of you numpties below who have been critical of referees I have one thing to say. Try it yourselves and see how you get on. I was a ref at local level for ten years having played till 25 (an ACL injury put a stop to that) and coached for twelve years. When I qualified as a ref I did all age groups and I can tell you, at the younger ages, the parents are the worst. After a couple of years I decided to only ref adults and over sixteens (on the basis that there were less parents)
As a ref you have to be fair, honest, know the laws, make instantaneous decisons, and allow the game to flow. Problem is that every one else thinks they know the laws and how to referee. They mostly don't and the difficulty is how to deal with them. I never took any sh*t whatsoever. Never. I told the captains and coaches before the game that I would only speak to the captains on the pitch and the coached off it. When I was challenged on the pitch by anyone else I ignored them. You gotta have a thick skin or you'll fail.
So, my suggestion is that if you think it's easy, give it a go. Or be quiet.

So FIFA is to blame for us not being able to hear the ref decisions. What a lot of garbage! Take the decision yourself and give them the big finger. When they see that fans and spectators approve this , FIFA will have no other way to change their mind. We need to take matters in our our hands.

This man ruined the beautiful game. Last season was nearly unwatchable because of all the stoppages and incorrect VAR calls. Now players are getting cards allll over the place while we have to deal with his poorly trained and weak referees.
@nathanmerritt1581

They should also clamp down on bad referring decisions as well.

Maybe clamp down on refs who don't use lines when using VAR?
@TheAlkebulanTrust
January 8, 2024 at 4:13 pm
How about they clamp down on referees who ruin games by trying to make a name for themselves making poor decisions irrespective of VAR. Clamp down on referees who referee the same matches and ban referees from matches that they have known conflict with.

FIFA dont allow it? They have been allowing it for the whole Womens WC…

It appears nobody wanting to improve this ludicrous off side ruling …. EVERYONE when running leans forward … the off side rule SHOULD be only taken from the position of one’s feet ….. Extra time ….. NO team should be allowed to bring on players during this time except for injuries……. Aggression towards Referees ….. use the rule in Rugby … SIN BIN for ten to twelve minutes ….. finally ….. corner kicks … ball MUST BE INSIDE the markers NOT edging mm on the outside of the markers … that’s pathetic…..
