Hamilton will start the race from second position at the Sepang International Circuit, with this modification being one of several adjustments made to various cars during parc ferme after qualifying. In total, nine cars underwent changes, with notable adjustments including new driver's cockpit windshields for McLaren drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri. Aston Martin also made several modifications to Lance Stroll's AMR26. All changes were conducted with the approval of the FIA technical delegate, adhering to the 2026 Formula One Sporting Regulations.gpfans.comSun 4 OctLeclerc explains why he "started losing some performance from Q2" in Sepang qualifyingCharles Leclerc qualified fourth for the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia, while Lewis Hamilton secured second place and Max Verstappen took pole position. Leclerc admitted to struggling with rear-end instability during Q3, which affected his performance after he had already noticed a decline in Q2. Despite this, he acknowledged that Ferrari had improved compared to their final practice session. Team Principal Fred Vasseur expressed satisfaction with the qualifying results, highlighting Hamilton's strong lap and Leclerc's potential for a better time. Vasseur emphasized that race strategy and tyre management would be more important than grid positions, especially given the extreme temperatures expected during the race. Leclerc is the only driver to have run on hard tyres at Sepang, which could provide Ferrari with a strategic advantage.f1technical.netSat 3 OctLewis Hamilton's Malaysia fury over 'unacceptable' engine failureLewis Hamilton expressed his anger over an engine failure during the Malaysian Grand Prix at Sepang, which he deemed 'unacceptable'. This incident occurred on October 2, marking the ten-year anniversary of a significant retirement in his career. The failure, attributed to a big-end bearing issue, happened on Lap 41, leaving Hamilton frustrated as he was in a strong position to challenge for the championship against his teammate Nico Rosberg. After the race, Hamilton demanded answers from Mercedes, questioning why he was the only driver experiencing engine failures despite having multiple engines available. He suggested that someone did not want him to win, although he clarified that he was not accusing anyone at Mercedes. The team's technical chief, Paddy Lowe, refuted claims of sabotage, stating that if they could arrange such failures, they would not have any at all.gpfans.comSat 3 OctFerrari’s Vigna on Vasseur and fake news: “There is only one reality”Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna has publicly supported team principal Fred Vasseur amid growing speculation about his position. Vigna highlighted the need to distinguish between verified facts and unverified opinions, especially in the age of social media, where misinformation can spread rapidly. He recounted an incident where he encountered false claims about his relationship with Vasseur while dining together, underscoring the disconnect between reality and rumour. Vigna acknowledged that Ferrari's performance this season has not met expectations and admitted that their rivals have done a better job. He stressed the importance of focusing on improving the car rather than succumbing to external pressures from speculation. By addressing the situation directly, Vigna believes they have successfully quelled the rumours surrounding Vasseur, allowing the team to concentrate on their technical challenges.Motorsport.comSat 3 Oct
