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?
