Alex Powell: NZ Herald sports journo recaps the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia
Sportstalk with D'Arcy WaldegraveShow Notes
Liam Lawson continues to build his case to stay in Formula One beyond the 2026 season. A seventh-place finish at a chaotic and weather-affected race in Malaysia has moved him 24 points clear in the battle for ninth - and best outside the top four teams - in the championship. Lawson notably made pole sitter, eventual race-winner and four-time world champ Max Verstappen work hard for position during an opening lap exchange.
