Max Verstappen delivered Red Bull's first victory of the 2026 season amid torrential rain and chaotic conditions at Sepang.
A heavy tropical thunderstorm heavily delayed the race start, creating a strategic nightmare with mixed tyre choices across the grid.
Verstappen seized control on lap 13 and masterfully navigated two safety car restarts to secure his maiden win of the year.
Meanwhile, George Russell saw his championship aspirations suffer a major blow after a late engine failure stopped his Mercedes on track.
Russell's misfortune allowed Lewis Hamilton to cap off a brilliant charge from the back of the field to claim the final podium spot.
