via f1oversteer.comFerrari add ‘striking’ secret upgrade to Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc’s SF-26 at SepangFerrari had a strong start to the 2026 Bahrain Grand Prix weekend in Malaysia, with Charles Leclerc leading the second practice session. Leclerc's lap time of 1:37.528 placed him ahead of his teammate Lewis Hamilton, who finished fifth. The team introduced minor upgrades, including vortex generators on the SF-26, to improve aerodynamics and downforce. The Bahrain Grand Prix is being held in Malaysia due to the situation in the Middle East, marking a return of the Sepang circuit to the Formula 1 calendar after a hiatus since 2017. Ferrari is expected to roll out more significant upgrades at the upcoming United States Grand Prix, as they prepare for the remainder of the season.

via f1oversteer.comAnthony Davidson left ‘flabbergasted’ after watching Lance Stroll’s onboard camera at SepangDuring the 2026 Bahrain Grand Prix practice session, Anthony Davidson expressed his confusion after observing Lance Stroll's unusual driving technique. Stroll's aggressive steering inputs during FP2 left Davidson unable to comprehend the rationale behind his actions, which included multiple steering adjustments before turning into a corner. Stroll ultimately finished the session in 18th place, significantly off the pace set by Charles Leclerc, who topped the timesheets. Davidson noted that Stroll's driving style resembled that of Fernando Alonso during his successful years with Renault. Despite Stroll's lack of prior experience at Sepang, Davidson found it perplexing that he would employ such an aggressive approach. This incident adds to a pattern of unusual driving styles exhibited by Aston Martin drivers this season.
