Podcast: Should F1 have avoided its Malaysia farce?
On the latest episode of The Race F1 Podcast, Edd Straw is joined by Jon Noble and Scott Mitchell-Malm to discuss the Malaysia-hosted Bahrain Grand Prix.
It was a race that'll be remembered for Max Verstappen taking his and Red Bull’s first victory of 2026, but it was also one marred by chaos at the first attempt to start it. So what caused the farcical scenes that played out?
That's the key question tackled in part one of the podcast, before Edd, Jon and Scott explain Verstappen and Red Bull's supreme - and somewhat shock - pace this weekend, ask whether Ferrari's tyre blunder cost Lewis Hamilton a shot at victory, and unpack all of the race's other big talking points.
