F1 Bahrain GP Race Review | Max Wins, Lewis Charges to P3 & F1 Cars Break Before the Start
In this episode, we recap the chaotic 2026 F1 Bahrain Grand Prix, where Max Verstappen finally delivered Red Bull Ford its first win, Kimi Antonelli extended his championship lead with P2, and Lewis Hamilton somehow turned a disastrous start into a P3 finish.
Before the race could even properly begin, multiple cars suddenly lost electrical power during the formation lap thanks to a bizarre software issue tied to the wet-weather energy settings — forcing an aborted start, a lengthy delay, and an FIA software update before everyone could actually go racing.
Once we finally got underway, the mixed conditions made tire strategy everything. Mercedes nailed the intermediate call, Ferrari absolutely did not, and Hamilton found himself around a minute off the lead before committing to the slick gamble and fighting his way all the way back onto the podium. Charles Leclerc recovered to P4 after contact and a front-wing change, while George Russell lost what looked like a comfortable podium when another power unit issue forced him to retire late in the race.
We also break down McLaren’s rough afternoon, Racing Bulls putting both cars in the points, Fernando Alonso finishing P8, Arvid Lindblad fighting from the back for P10, another painful Williams weekend, Cadillac’s seven-stop adventure, and all the other chaos from up and down the grid.
Plus, we pick our Drivers of the Day and biggest letdowns before looking ahead to the Singapore Grand Prix — including our perhaps slightly ambitious Ferrari podium predictions.
