via PlanetF1Max Verstappen and Kimi Antonelli at centre of Montoya Malaysia predictionThe Sepang Circuit in Malaysia will host the 2026 Bahrain Grand Prix, marking F1's return to the venue for the first time since 2017. This change is due to ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, and it has led to a unique race weekend setup. Juan Pablo Montoya has predicted that championship leader Kimi Antonelli and Max Verstappen will perform exceptionally well at this popular track, which he regards as his favorite. Antonelli currently holds a significant lead in the Drivers' Championship, while Verstappen is the last winner at Sepang from 2017. The race weekend at Sepang will be part of a triple-header, following races in Baku and Singapore, resulting in a busy schedule of six races over seven weekends. Montoya highlighted the importance of bravery for drivers to succeed at Sepang, indicating that both Verstappen and Antonelli possess the skills needed to navigate its challenges effectively. This strategic adjustment by F1 aims to ensure a full championship despite the circumstances affecting the original race location.

via PlanetF1Lance Stroll ‘will’ leave Aston Martin if F1 car fails to improveJuan Pablo Montoya has suggested that Lance Stroll may exit Aston Martin if the team's performance does not improve, particularly after a disappointing first half of the 2026 season. Stroll has yet to score any points this season, and the team currently sits in 10th place in the Constructors' Championship, with upgrades planned for the AMR26 and a new Honda power unit debuting soon. Meanwhile, Fernando Alonso's future remains uncertain, but he is expected to make a decision regarding his contract after the summer break. Despite the team's struggles, Montoya believes that Stroll's departure could happen as early as 2028 if the situation does not change. Alonso's enjoyment of racing, rather than the team's competitiveness, will influence his decision to stay or leave. The upcoming upgrades and performance improvements will be crucial for both drivers' futures with Aston Martin.
