🚨 F1 NEWS: LECLERC AGREED WITH FERRARI’S SLICK-TYRE GAMBLE
Charles Leclerc says he was aligned with Ferrari when the team chose slick tyres for both cars at the start in Malaysia. The gamble backfired badly, but Leclerc says Ferrari now need to understand why Red Bull so often get these difficult calls right. Fred Vasseur has also explained the thinking behind the decision and why Lewis Hamilton was allowed to stay out rather than immediately switch tyres.

🔥 F1 NEWS: NORRIS’ AWKWARD SAFETY CAR MOMENT
Lando Norris ran off track behind the Safety Car and narrowly avoided Oscar Piastri after being caught out by cars slowing ahead. Norris accepted responsibility after the race. The timing is awkward after he called for Franco Colapinto to receive a race ban following their Baku incident just one week earlier.

👀 F1 NEWS: McLAREN HAVE A BIG QUESTION TO ANSWER
McLaren expected Sepang to suit the MCL40 but instead appeared to have only the fourth-fastest car. Andrea Stella says the team cannot see an anomaly in its data, raising the possibility that rivals have simply developed faster. Singapore could now provide an important answer.

🌍 F1 NEWS: FORMULA 1 REPORTEDLY HEADING BACK TO AFRICA
RacingNews365 reports that an agreement has been reached for Rwanda to host an F1 Grand Prix from 2030, with a new permanent circuit planned near Kigali. An official Formula 1 announcement has not yet been made, so for now this remains a reported agreement rather than confirmation from F1.

😂 F1 NEWS: VERSTAPPEN’S UNHEARD SEPANG RADIO
Previously untelevised Max Verstappen radio has emerged from the chaotic Malaysia formation lap, including his reaction to the extraordinary scenes. Verstappen went on to claim his first F1 win of 2026 and the first victory for Red Bull Ford Powertrains.

🚨 F1 NEWS: TOTO WOLFF SAYS “WE LET GEORGE DOWN”
Mercedes have apologised after George Russell suffered another power-unit-related retirement in Malaysia. Wolff called it Mercedes’ worst weekend of the F1 season, said the team were not quick enough or reliable enough, and admitted Russell had been let down too often this year.

👀 F1 NEWS: ASTON MARTIN — NEWEY PROGRESS OR HONDA TURNING POINT?
Fernando Alonso finished P8 at Sepang as Aston Martin scored for only the second time this F1 season. The team showed stronger pace on a circuit where straight-line performance was less punishing, while Honda has also announced a major HRC leadership change with Koji Watanabe retiring and Keiichi Yasuda taking over in 2027. So who deserves the credit for Aston Martin’s improvement?

🔥 F1 NEWS: LAWSON OR TSOLOV? RED BULL’S 2027 DILEMMA
Liam Lawson strengthened his case with P7 in Malaysia, while Formula 2 star Nikola Tsolov remains firmly in the Red Bull conversation. Racing Bulls have previously called Tsolov “next in line”, but Lawson’s recent F1 form is making the 2027 decision increasingly difficult.

💥 F1 NEWS: ANTONELLI LEARNS FROM MAX — AND PRAISES HAMILTON
Kimi Antonelli says racing closely with Max Verstappen taught him a valuable lesson about positioning the car and finding grip on a slippery restart. He also praised Lewis Hamilton’s ability to keep fighting when things go wrong, calling both F1 champions examples he can learn from.

🏁 F1 NEWS: HORNER REACTS TO RED BULL-FORD’S FIRST WIN
Christian Horner has congratulated Red Bull Ford Powertrains after Max Verstappen delivered the project’s first Formula 1 victory. Horner, who helped establish Red Bull Powertrains, called the achievement incredible.

🚨 F1 NEWS: HAMILTON FROM P18 TO THE PODIUM
Ferrari’s decision to start Lewis Hamilton on slick tyres backfired badly while the track still favoured intermediates. Hamilton dropped as low as P18 and around 80 seconds off the lead before mounting a huge recovery drive to finish third.

Max Verstappen has pole position for the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia, with Lewis Hamilton starting alongside him on the front row. The run to Turn 1 at Sepang could be enormous as Red Bull and Ferrari go head-to-head from the start.

🔵 MAX VERSTAPPEN — CAN HE CONVERT POLE?

Verstappen showed strong pace throughout the weekend and delivered when it mattered in qualifying. Now the question is whether Red Bull can turn pole position into victory over 56 demanding laps at Sepang.

🔴 LEWIS HAMILTON + FERRARI

Hamilton produced a major qualifying performance to put his Ferrari on the front row. Can he challenge Verstappen at the start and give Ferrari a genuine shot at victory in Malaysia?

⚫ MERCEDES — ANTONELLI IN THE FIGHT

Championship leader Kimi Antonelli qualified fourth and is set to start third after Hadjar’s grid penalty. George Russell qualified eighth, leaving Mercedes with very different races to manage as the title fight continues.

🌡️ TYRES, HEAT + SEPANG STRATEGY

Sepang is 5.543km long and Sunday’s Bahrain Grand Prix runs for 56 laps. High temperatures, demanding corners and tyre management could make strategy absolutely crucial.

🚨 F1 LIVE: WHO TAKES POLE AT SEPANG?

Qualifying at Sepang is back for the first time since 2017. The 5.543km circuit combines long straights, fast corners, big braking zones and huge track temperatures — and Saturday carries a 40% chance of rain.

🔴 FERRARI F1 — LECLERC + HAMILTON

Leclerc topped FP2 and Hamilton finished fifth, giving Ferrari real momentum heading into qualifying. Hamilton also shares the all-time Sepang pole record with Michael Schumacher on five. Can Ferrari put an SF-26 on pole?

🔵 MAX VERSTAPPEN + RED BULL

Verstappen topped FP1 and stayed close to the front in FP2 without using the soft tyre. Red Bull also had Isack Hadjar second in FP2. Max could be a major threat when the fuel comes out and the soft tyres go on.

⚫ MERCEDES F1 — RUSSELL + ANTONELLI

George Russell and championship leader Kimi Antonelli have a huge qualifying session ahead. Mercedes have been expected to suit Sepang, but Ferrari and Red Bull have already shown serious pace.

🧡 McLAREN F1 — NORRIS + PIASTRI

Lando Norris was third in FP2 and McLaren remain in the fight. Can Norris or Oscar Piastri find the final tenths when it matters most?

🌧️ RAIN COULD CHANGE EVERYTHING

Saturday's forecast includes a 40% chance of rain. At Sepang, one sudden shower can transform qualifying, destroy a run plan and create a completely unexpected grid.

This is the last hour for Ferrari, Red Bull, Mercedes and McLaren to find the perfect Sepang setup before parc fermé and qualifying. Every soft-tyre run, sector time and balance change matters now.

🔴 FERRARI F1 — CAN LECLERC STAY ON TOP?

Charles Leclerc ended FP2 fastest with Lewis Hamilton fifth. Ferrari looked much stronger on Friday than many expected, and FP3 will tell us whether that pace carries into qualifying trim.

🔵 MAX VERSTAPPEN + RED BULL

Verstappen topped FP1 and remained close to the front in FP2 without using the soft tyre. Red Bull also had Isack Hadjar second in FP2, so the RB22 looks dangerous heading into Saturday.

⚫ MERCEDES F1 — RUSSELL + ANTONELLI

Mercedes were expected to be one of the strongest teams at Sepang, but FP3 is now crucial as George Russell and Kimi Antonelli prepare for the qualifying battle and another major title-fight weekend.

🧡 McLAREN F1 — NORRIS + PIASTRI

Lando Norris finished third in FP2. Can McLaren find enough straight-line speed and qualifying pace to fight Ferrari, Red Bull and Mercedes for the front rows?

🌧️ WEATHER WATCH

Saturday at Sepang carries a 40% chance of rain, with hot and humid conditions and track temperatures potentially above 50°C. One shower could completely change FP3 and qualifying preparation.

🔥 F1 LIVE: WHO REALLY HAS THE PACE?

FP1 gives us the first clues. FP2 starts telling us who might actually have a Bahrain GP car capable of fighting at the front.

Sepang combines fast corners, long straights, big braking zones and demanding tyre temperatures. With little modern F1 data available at this circuit, every qualifying simulation and race run matters.

⚫ MERCEDES F1 — THE BENCHMARK?

George Russell arrives off the back of his Azerbaijan victory while Kimi Antonelli leads the F1 championship. FP2 should tell us whether Mercedes’ pace translates to Sepang across both one-lap and long-run performance.

🔵 MAX VERSTAPPEN + RED BULL

Verstappen was just 0.196s from victory in Baku and has made no secret of wanting a 2026 win. Can Red Bull turn Friday pace into a genuine Bahrain Grand Prix challenge?

🔴 FERRARI F1 — HAMILTON + LECLERC

Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc need Ferrari dialled in quickly. We’ll watch the SF-26 through Sepang’s faster corners and compare its race pace against Mercedes and Red Bull.

🧡 McLAREN F1 — NORRIS + PIASTRI

Malaysia could expose McLaren’s straight-line weakness, making FP2 especially important. Can Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri find enough performance through the corners to offset what they lose on the straights?

🌧️ WEATHER WATCH

Friday carries a real threat of rain in hot and humid conditions. Any shower could completely change the FP2 programme, tyre data and setup work heading into qualifying.

The team arrived in Malaysia with fresh development on the SF-26, and while the exact detail behind reports of a “secret” upgrade has not been independently confirmed, Leclerc ended FP2 fastest with Hamilton P5. Ferrari are still pushing development hard in 2026 — and Sepang may be giving us the first signs that it is paying off.

🚨 F1 NEWS: FERRARI SPRING A SEPANG SURPRISE
Ferrari have continued developing the SF-26 into the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia. Leclerc topped FP2 while Hamilton finished fifth, giving Ferrari a much stronger Friday than many expected.

🔥 MAX VERSTAPPEN LOOKS DANGEROUS
Verstappen topped FP1 by 0.383s and finished P4 in FP2 without using the soft tyre. Red Bull looked immediately competitive at Sepang, raising the possibility that Max could finally fight for his first win of the 2026 F1 season.

💥 VASSEUR HITS BACK AT PERSONAL ATTACKS
Fred Vasseur says criticism of his Ferrari leadership has become “a bit personal”. He insists that when Ferrari struggle, his job is to protect the team — while Hamilton and Leclerc have both publicly defended him.

👀 COULTHARD CLARIFIES LECLERC “PICNIC” ROW
David Coulthard’s comments about Charles Leclerc bringing family life into the paddock caused a major reaction. We look at what he originally said, what he says his real concern was, and whether the criticism was fair.

😂 MAX VERSTAPPEN BEING MAX VERSTAPPEN
Asked how he prepared for Sepang’s heat and humidity, Max gave exactly the kind of answer F1 fans have come to expect — blunt, funny and completely unfiltered.

🚨 F1 LIVE: FIRST LOOK AT SEPANG

Friday practice matters more than usual this weekend. Sepang has not hosted Formula 1 since 2017, many drivers have never raced an F1 car here, and teams have very little relevant data for the current generation of machinery.

We’ll be watching how quickly everyone adapts to Sepang’s long straights, fast sweeping corners and heavy thermal demands — plus whether the weather creates an early Bahrain Grand Prix surprise.

⚫ MERCEDES F1 — CAN RUSSELL AND ANTONELLI STAY AHEAD?

George Russell arrives from victory in Baku while Kimi Antonelli still leads the F1 championship. Mercedes bring major expectations to Malaysia, so FP1 gives us our first proper look at their Sepang pace.

🔵 MAX VERSTAPPEN + RED BULL

Max Verstappen came within two tenths of victory in Azerbaijan. Can Red Bull immediately challenge Mercedes at a circuit where Max won the last F1 race held at Sepang?

🔴 FERRARI F1 — HAMILTON + LECLERC

Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc have both won at Sepang in the past. Ferrari need a clean start to the weekend as we watch their balance, straight-line performance and early tyre behaviour.

🧡 McLAREN F1 — NORRIS + PIASTRI

Can Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri make McLaren competitive on a circuit with multiple long straights and four Straight Mode zones? FP1 should give us the first clues.

🔴 F1 LIVE BAHRAIN GP FP1 - Live Timing + Commentary + Track

F1 News today as Lewis Hamilton publicly backs Fred Vasseur amid fresh Ferrari leadership questions — but why is Hamilton doing the defending while Ferrari’s senior leadership remains largely silent? Plus Franco Colapinto fires back at Lando Norris, Toto Wolff faces his toughest Mercedes team-management test yet, Max Verstappen admits what Red Bull have had to accept in 2026, and we preview the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia at Sepang.

Hamilton has called Vasseur a “fantastic leader” and “the guy to take this team in the right direction”, while also stressing that Ferrari’s problems are bigger than one individual. Charles Leclerc has backed Vasseur too. So does that strengthen Fred’s position — or make the silence from above him even more interesting?

00:00 🚨 HAMILTON BACKS VASSEUR — SO WHERE ARE FERRARI’S BOSSES?!
14:26 🔥 COLAPINTO FIRES BACK AT NORRIS — AND BRINGS UP MAX?!

🚨 F1 NEWS: HAMILTON PUBLICLY BACKS VASSEUR
Lewis Hamilton has defended Fred Vasseur as speculation continues around Ferrari’s leadership. Hamilton says Vasseur has his full backing, but also pointed out that Ferrari’s structure extends beyond the team principal. There is no confirmation Vasseur is leaving.

🔥 COLAPINTO HITS BACK AT NORRIS
Franco Colapinto has criticised Lando Norris’ reaction to their Baku crash, contrasting it with how Max Verstappen has handled young-driver mistakes in the past. Norris later apologised for his comments, but the row has not disappeared.

⚡ MERCEDES TITLE FIGHT GETS SERIOUS
George Russell’s Baku win cut Kimi Antonelli’s championship lead to 66 points. Toto Wolff has repeatedly said Mercedes will let them race, but as the gap closes, equal treatment on strategy and team orders is about to come under intense pressure.

💥 VERSTAPPEN ACCEPTS RED BULL’S REALITY
Max Verstappen says Red Bull are not fighting for the 2026 title and must use the rest of the season to learn for next year. He is still chasing his first win of the season after finishing less than two tenths behind Russell in Baku.

🏁 BAHRAIN GP IN MALAYSIA PREVIEW
F1 returns to Sepang for the first time since 2017. The 5.543km circuit brings long straights, fast corners, heavy tyre demands and a real chance of rain. We make our Call the Weekend: qualifying top three, race podium, Driver of the Weekend and Dipstick of the Weekend.

Is Hamilton right to back Vasseur?

F1 News: Hamilton Just Said What Ferrari's Bosses HAVEN'T…?!

F1 News today as Ferrari face fresh questions over Lewis Hamilton after critical comments were removed from an audio file sent to the F1 media. Plus Esteban Ocon confirms his Haas exit, McLaren face a major F1 test in Malaysia, Mercedes bring a significant upgrade and Colton Herta clarifies his Formula 2 future.

This F1 latest news show starts with Ferrari and Lewis Hamilton. Reporting says Hamilton’s criticism over Ferrari’s “rules of engagement” was missing from the audio file later distributed to F1 media, despite journalists hearing the comments live. So why was that section removed, and what does it tell us about the pressure inside Ferrari?

🚨 F1 NEWS: FERRARI REMOVE HAMILTON COMMENTS
Lewis Hamilton called for clearer rules between Ferrari’s drivers after his clash with Charles Leclerc. The comments were heard live, but reporting says that section did not appear in the later Ferrari audio sent to the F1 media. Ferrari have not been shown to have changed Hamilton’s public comments, but the omission raises obvious questions.

🔥 F1 DRIVER MARKET: OCON CONFIRMS HAAS EXIT
Esteban Ocon will leave Haas at the end of the 2026 F1 season. Ocon says his F1 career is not over, while Rafael Câmara is strongly linked with the Haas seat. Haas have not yet officially confirmed Ocon’s replacement.

💥 F1 2026: McLAREN FACE A HUGE MALAYSIA TEST

F1 News: Ferrari DELETED This Lewis Hamilton Comment… Why?!

F1 News today as Ferrari make a public intervention over Fred Vasseur’s future — issuing a statement of “full confidence” in their team principal as speculation over Christian Horner and a possible leadership change refuses to disappear.

But there is a huge historical twist. Ferrari issued a similarly emphatic denial over Mattia Binotto in November 2022. Two weeks later, his departure was announced. That does NOT mean Vasseur is leaving — but it makes today’s F1 News impossible to ignore.

00:00 🚨 FERRARI BACK VASSEUR… BUT WE’VE SEEN THIS BEFORE?!
24:28 🔥 ALONSO MAKES HIS 2027 F1 DECISION
37:10 💥 PEREZ WARNS SOMETHING BAD COULD HAPPEN?!
44:22 👀 VERSTAPPEN WANTS F1 FRIDAYS SCRAPPED?!

🚨 F1 NEWS: FERRARI BACK VASSEUR

Ferrari head of communications Maria Conti used a virtual media call to say the team has “full confidence” in Vasseur and his team, adding that Ferrari want the speculation stopped before the next Grand Prix.

The pressure has intensified after Christian Horner publicly described Ferrari as a dream destination and said it is the one team he would consider joining without an ownership stake.

There is no confirmation Vasseur is leaving and no confirmed Ferrari offer to Horner.

👀 BUT WE HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE

On November 15, 2022, Ferrari said reports that Mattia Binotto could be replaced were “totally without foundation”.

On November 29, Ferrari announced Binotto’s departure.

History does not prove the same thing is happening now. But after Ferrari’s latest intervention, the comparison is going to fuel the debate around Vasseur’s future.

💚 ALONSO STAYS WITH ASTON MARTIN

Fernando Alonso has ended the speculation and extended his Aston Martin contract into 2027.

The two-time World Champion is 45 and will race beyond his 46th birthday. Aston Martin will retain Alonso alongside Lance Stroll as the team continues its long-term project under Adrian Newey.

⚠️ PEREZ WARNS F1: SOMETHING BAD COULD HAPPEN

Sergio Perez has raised a serious safety concern after Baku.

The Cadillac driver says differences in energy deployment and power between manufacturers are creating dangerous closing speeds. Perez revealed he nearly had a major accident with Liam Lawson and warned that “something bad” could happen if the regulations are not adjusted.

His concern is specifically about speed differentials caused by deployment — not a blanket claim that every 2026 F1 car is inherently unsafe.

🔥 VERSTAPPEN WANTS FRIDAYS GONE

Max Verstappen has also joined the debate over F1’s future format.

F1Oversteer reports that Verstappen wants Friday running removed from a conventional Grand Prix weekend as part of his preferred shorter race-weekend format.

Would a two-day F1 weekend make the sport better — or would fans lose too much track action?

👇 JOIN THE DEBATE

Do you believe Ferrari’s Vasseur backing?
Could Horner still end up at Maranello?
Are you happy Alonso is staying for 2027?
Is Perez right to be worried about the 2026 cars?
Should F1 scrap Fridays?
