Max Verstappen won a chaotic Bahrain Grand Prix, staged in Malaysia, for his first Formula 1 win of the season and Red Bull's first since switching to its own in-house engine; Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli, who leads the championship, was second and Lewis Hamilton third. The start was aborted after a software fault, which the FIA (motorsport's governing body) admitted it had not been able to test properly in wet conditions, caused cars to lose power and stall during the formation laps. The episode has embarrassed the sport and fuelled debate over the new engine rules.
