SEPANG Oct 4, 2026 — Formula 1 has put the spotlight on Max Verstappen as the pole-sitter arrives on race day at Sepang International Circuit for the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia.
In a post on its official X account, Formula 1 declared that the pole-sitter was here, sharing video ahead of lights out at the Malaysian circuit.
