🏁 MAX IS BACK! Chaos in Sepang as Verstappen wins in the wet.
Legendary F1 commentator Ben Edwards and Nicola Hume react to a wild Bahrain Grand Prix. They're joined by BTCC and Formula E presenter Nicki Shields.
🌧️ 2026 cars in the rain: The first wet race for the new-spec cars caused trouble for Ferrari, Red Bull and more. Should the affected cars have been allowed to restart?
🦁 Max Attack: A vintage Verstappen drive gives him his first win of 2026. Can Red Bull's upgrades help them catch McLaren for third in the constructors'?
💔 Russell Watch: Mercedes nailed the inters call, but a technical problem put George out of a podium spot. Is his title fight now over?
🧠 Hamilton's masterstroke: Lewis made the call to stay out on slicks himself, then carved through the field to finish third. Does that take the heat off Fred Vasseur?
💪 Alonso magic: Fernando dragged his Aston Martin to P8. Was it a one-off or a turning point?
🧡 McLaren misery: Slicks at the start, a near-collision between teammates behind the safety car... bad luck or failing upgrades?
⚔️ Midfield madness: Liam Lawson starred early, and Racing Bulls scored another double points finish while Alpine got nothing. Is best of the rest now theirs?
🔧 Upgrade watch: Mercedes and Ferrari both brought upgrades. Are we in for closer racing at the front?
🚨 We need to talk about... the safety car rules. Should lapped cars still be allowed to unlap themselves when it costs us a grandstand finish?
🇸🇬 Singapore preview: The last stop of this triple header brings brutal heat, first-corner drama and big championship stakes.
🔮 The Prediction Championship of the World: Can Nicki get Team Guest climbing the table?
