Max Verstappen won the 2026 Bahrain Grand Prix in the rain at Sepang, the first Formula 1 victory for Red Bull Ford Powertrains. It is not what Dick, Joe Saward, and Sabrina spent this race review on.

After a long rain delay, a software glitch on the formation lap left Sabrina with a question she could not shake: if software can step in between a driver and the car, how do you trust what you are watching? All three agreed Formula 1 did not look its best in Malaysia. Whether that was one bad day or a sign of something bigger is where they part ways.
