Max Verstappen navigated a chaotic weather-affected race to secure his first victory of the 2026 Formula 1 season at Sepang, Malaysia. The thrilling wet-dry encounter showcased the resilience of the reigning world champion.
Starting from pole position, the Dutchman faced an immediate hurdle when heavy rain delayed the start and a power delay dropped him behind early leader Andrea Kimi Antonelli.
However, a crucial tactical call for Intermediate tyres allowed the Red Bull Racing charger to claw his way back to the front and control the remaining 56 laps.
This triumph marks a historic milestone as the very first victory for the team's new in-house power unit project, bringing a long-held vision to life on the Sepang tarmac.
With momentum now on their side, attention turns swiftly to the Marina Bay Street Circuit for the upcoming Singapore Grand Prix.
