SEPANG DELIVERED ABSOLUTE CHAOS. 🇲🇾🌧️🏁

Formula 1’s return to Sepang gave us one of the wildest races of the 2026 season. A massive rain delay exposed a serious problem with the new-generation cars, with wet conditions and a software issue creating bizarre scenes before the race could even properly get underway.

Once we finally went racing, Max Verstappen was the class of the field, fighting his way back to the front and taking his first victory of 2026.

Ferrari somehow managed to put both drivers on the wrong side of the early strategy call, but Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc refused to let it ruin their afternoon, charging back through the field to finish P3 and P4. Meanwhile, George Russell suffered a heartbreaking late DNF, effectively crushing what remained of his championship hopes.

We also talk about McLaren being basically irrelevant, Fernando Alonso putting together one of his best performances of the season, and what Max’s dominant showing says about Red Bull going forward.

Was this proof that the 2026 cars have a serious wet-weather problem? How did Ferrari escape with a 3–4 after that strategy? And after Sepang, is the championship fight essentially over?

F1 IS BACK AT SEPANG! 🇲🇾🏁

For the first time since 2017, Formula 1 returns to the legendary Sepang International Circuit — and there are a LOT of questions heading into the weekend. With high-speed corners, brutal heat, tyre degradation and the ever-present threat of rain, this could be one of the wildest races of the season.

On this episode of The Formation Yap, we break down everything heading into race weekend. Can Kimi Antonelli bounce back after a difficult Baku? Is George Russell’s recent form the real deal after his dominant victory last weekend? Can Ferrari finally find the pace to challenge at the front? And after another rough weekend for McLaren, we have to ask… is Oscar Piastri cooked?

Plus, Max Verstappen won the last F1 race held at Sepang in 2017 — could his return to Malaysia finally deliver his first win of 2026?
