Paddock Access

Show Notes

???? What a weekend in Malaysia!

In the latest episode of Paddock Access, Kym Illman and Jacky Martens take you behind the scenes of the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia and break down everything that happened during an unforgettable race weekend.

Of course, the biggest story was Max Verstappen’s brilliant victory. But the drama started long before the lights went out, with major software problems causing absolute chaos and creating scenes we’ve never seen before ??

The heavy rain took the spectacle to another level???

Ferrari managed to ruin what could have been a dream battle between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton by sending Lewis out on the wrong tyres. Hamilton somehow fought his way back to the podium — but it certainly wasn’t thanks to his team ??

And the chaos didn’t stop at the circuit. Traffic around the track came to a complete standstill, with fans even walking along the highway just to get away from the circuit ??

An extraordinary race, incredible drama and plenty of stories from the paddock. There’s a LOT to talk about!

All this and much more in the latest episode of Paddock Access! ????? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
