Show Notes
Chaos, pure chaos at the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia! DC & Will react to all the madness from Max Verstappen's first win of 2026, to "LEGO racing" on the maddest formation lap we've ever seen, almost 2 hour delays, an insane recovery from Lewis Hamilton and a heartbreaking DNF spoiling George Russell's title hopes! Is Max entering Michael Schumacher territory? Why don't 2026 F1 cars work in the rain?! Could Lewis have won the race if he was on different tyres? And is Russell out of the title fight now?
