Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen roast F1 after Sepang’s software meltdown.

His foot said go but the car said no! Lewis Hamilton needed a reboot while Max Verstappen turned F1’s software chaos into a joke. Sure, the Formula 1 Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia delivered brilliant racing but that doesn’t answer the awkward questions about the 2026 F1 regulations. Its boss Stefano Domenicali can point to audience surveys around...but even Mercedes wants simpler rules.

And now Sepang showed us and the casual fans that these Formula One machines are sensitive to rain!

Bahrain in Malaysia had Russell face more heartbreak and Verstappen fending off a duck.

Max Verstappen finally wins in 2026 and he’s barely the main character in this F1 race. That tells you everything about the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia! George Russell lost another podium as Kimi Antonelli now has an 84 point championship lead. Meanwhile, Ferrari made things unnecessarily difficult for themselves yet got a podium...and as for McLaren? SO CLOSE to a major gaffe!

Who else won, lost or was just plain meh in Sepang?

Fernando Alonso stays at Aston Martin for F1 2027. Can Honda and Adrian Newey finally deliver?

Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvs

Fernando’s staying...but what’s he staying FOR? Alonso’s still waiting for the competitive car despite his team owning everything a Formula 1 team could possible desire. Throw in his frustration with F1’s regulations and this becomes more interesting than another vote of confidence. Does Nando see him staying as his personal crusade to leave Formula One in a better place?

Liam Lawson vs Arvid Lindblad. The overlooked teammate rivalry.

Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvs

Racing Bulls told Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad they were free to race. Just don’t touch...what did they do, you wonder? They touched. A much bigger question about Alan Permane’s management has emerged. With his colleagues having solid seasons in 2026, Lindblad must be fighting to establish himself; and his rivalry with Lawson has become one of F1 2026’s stories which I think doesn't get talked about enough! Is VCARB's relaxed approach to team orders asking too much from Lawson and not enough from the rookie?

Esteban Ocon is leaving Haas F1...and Ferrari’s influence may have had something to do with it.

Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvs Ocon’s Haas exit is now official, but the reasons behind it could be far more interesting than a simple saying Oliver Bearman was faster for the billionth time. Brazil's Rafael Camara reportedly impressed Haas during private testing at Portimao, while Ferrari may also be offering favourable terms on the parts Haas relies upon.

And one more thing. With Haas being the smallest team and unable to reach the cost cap, could Ocon's own salary have acted against him? It might have, since the team still rate his experience and feedback. Could Toyota make use of that ELSEWHERE?

Christian Horner keeps getting linked to Ferrari. But why does this story refuse to go away despite multiple rebuttals?

Ferrari says it still has full confidence in Fred Vasseur and current reporting says Christian Horner and Ferrari aren’t discussing a role...yet Horner’s name keeps returning to Maranello, years after John Elkann already tried to hire him...what's up with that?! Would Christian Horner really fix Ferrari, or would Ferrari have to change first before he would have walk in the door? Would Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton welcome him with open arms?

As Russell got a grand slam, the Alpine had a slam of their own...

George Russell was over ten seconds clear yet a technical issue almost cost him the race! How did THAT happen?

We also had a lot of other things happen too! There was Franco Colapinto and Pierre Gasly colliding, Lando Norris sounding off, the two Racing Bulls clashing again...and Isack Hadjar's return from injury yielded plenty of interesting radio banter.

Who else won, lost or was just plain meh around the streets of Baku?

Aston Martin F1 2026 contains 3 points, 14 DNFs...and Baku's not helping!

Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvs

Adrian Newey, Fernando Alonso, Honda and all that money were supposed to make Aston Martin a superteam for 2026. Instead, we've got Alonso and Lance Stroll still propping up the Formula 1 grid. Hungary’s upgrade gave us a reason to believe, so how are we back here?At what point does this F1 project start asking more of the name than it gives back?

Esteban Ocon’s 2027 Haas F1 seat is looking to be lost.

Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvs

Haas expected more from Esteban Ocon and Ocon agreed. His teammate Oliver Bearman has led the teammate comparisons since they joined forces. So what does Ocon’s experience still give Haas that a promising rookie couldn’t? Enter Rafael Camara and Ferrari's push for TWO Formula 1 juniors...and the ultimate testbed for a potential successor to Lewis Hamilton...or Charles Leclerc if things go south.

McLaren’s new logo looks wrong to many fans...but I like it...and I get why it's here.

McLaren’s new logo has been likened to a hotel chain...but hear me out.

This logo has prestige...and a clear sign that the company sees what Ferrari did wants to try it for themselves...helps that its own chairman is helping them out!With hundreds of millions of losses in the car side of the McLaren brand, a new tack is needed...and I want to look into it. Is McLaren just copying Ferrari? Not quite...but it certainly wants to figure out WHY they were successful. The F1 team is just the start!
