F1 returned for almost a decade to the Sepang International Circuit, as Bahrain hastily moved operations to facilitate a race in 2026.
The weather, cars, drivers, and FIA incompetence did not disappoint! Once again in Sepang we were treated to delays, rain, mixed strategy, FIA questionable tactics, deployment issues, recharge issues, software issues and one familiar name returning to the top step.
Join your hosts Tom Downey and Jawad Yaqub as they dissect all the action from Sepang, including the cruel twist in the title scrap, the top three, Ferrari strategy and over the air software updates from the FIA. Yes, this is F1 and not something from an electric car! Honest!
After discussing the action in Sepang, the conversation moves onto Singapore where Russell is set to take an engine penalty in his rapidly diminishing title challenge.
