Pool: It’s funny how the top three all scored zero in Round 9 definitely some "F1 madness" going on there; it’s an intriguing detail heading into the final stretch of the 2026 Formula 1 season.

Anyway, for now, Verstappen was fastest in FP1, while Ferrari took FP2 with Leclerc...

Colapinto looks like a good pick for this round... although I haven't picked him.  : : )

Yes he could be a really good pick, this time i avoid him but now i regret it, he have quite a good chance to recover from behind and score a lot of points for the competition thanks to the gain in positions against much weaker cars.

Seems like Antonelli and Mercedes dominance is killing the vibe in the first tier.

Now we have a suprise in the pole, Max Verstappen coming to the rescue, lets see if they can hold at top and prevent another win for Mercedes.

It was a good mix of factors, with RedBull improving their car and with Kimi having only one very early fast lap in Q3 (because of earlier issues with track limits).
It's nice to see Max start from pole position, and he has an advantage - he did drive on that track before - but I still think that the Mercs are (too) strong and Kimi has quite a chance to get another win.

Driving in this track before probably isn't big factor, especially when Hamilton did same thing many times in his career. Anyway, great to see first Max pole this season, Hadjar is also performing great after comeback, though, he got penalty and will start lower than qualified.
Wondering what weather will be tomorrow, it's always unpredictable thing in Sepang. Forecasts that I looked shows rain. I just hope 2009 scenario wont repeat.

I'm happy with this result, and if things at the end of Sepang end the way grid starts, I should be happy with that too. For me, as long as Kimi stays in top 5 while his chasers don't win, is a good thing for me (as I have my outright, as does KT).

Max strong 15/10 favourite to win and Kimi a distant 45/10. Even better? Hammie even slimmer odds behind at 9/1.

Bortoleto.....every fucking time I pick this guy....he's just cursed man never again.

Bortoleto.....every fucking time I pick this guy....he's just cursed man never again.

He's young and makers mistakes. The car is far from best also. Don't be too harsh on him.
Audi needs a few more years of development to get it right. This year they're a gamble; a risky one.

Yeah it's kool bro, I had a Lando Norris moment nothing against the guy  just seeing him go from top 10 to bottom ass was dreadful is all.

If you ever will feel useless, remember that F1 have rain tyres. Yes, I understand it was impossible to race under such heavy rain, but after rain stopped, I don't get why they had to wait so long to start the race. And another question - why it took forever to remove Albon's car from track. It's not even that he crashed orsomething, he literally stopped by the pocket where marshals and tractor were standing.
But despite these things, race was great and Sepang should be permanet track on calendar. Ferrari and Mclaren gambling with wet tyres didn't paid off. But we saw Alsonso earning points after extending contract with Aston Martin.
Disaster for Russel, engine stopped working during safety car phase and now it means it's only matter of time when Antonelli will become champion officially.

I think that I have the world record of bad luck and then I watch what happens to George Russell in a consecutive way and I think some guy out there has even a worse luck than mine  . The race of today were very boring despite most people saying otherwise I found the race organizers and directors very amateurs as they were waiting I don't know what before starting the race. Many teams made mistakes in their tire choice when starting their race and total chaos happened in the early stages with a lot of changes. Well Max won his first race of the season in 2026, now only Ferrari is missing to win a race from the top teams this season. As for the pool I don't know why Gasly and Alpine totally miscalculated everything. Good thing next week is already Singapore race.

But despite these things, race was great and Epang should be permanet track on calendar.

I think a lot of people liked the track but it was costing us taxpayers a lot of money at the time, for what we felt was very little return (it's more complicated than that of course because it's the corruption that's the real problem). Access was also limited to rich people and GP's cheaper so you'll see higher turnout for that.

I'd like for it to come back, of course, but it shouldn't need to take funding away from other priorities. And maybe think about lowering ticket prices...

Hi guys, we just had another race weekend and in this one the winner is finally...... jayce congratulations to him, after being at top for so much rounds and being between the best you finally nailed it and win a round. It still provisional since we have to wait until wednesday to confirm it but it seems like nothing is gonna change it, so please send me your BTC adress so you can receive the prize.

I cant see the race to be honest, it was impossible in my timezone. So i cant comment so much about it.



In other things it seems incredible but im still waiting for the wallet adress of the last two winners...... Seems like they dont want the prize.


We have another raceweek so later today or tomorrow im gonna post the new round, stay tuned !

[Koal-84]

What a bizarre and unpredictable race! So many things went completely wrong out there, and to make matters worse, my own predictions were way off the mark. I honestly didn't think Red Bull and Max Verstappen had it in them to pull off this kind of performance. Meanwhile, McLaren seems to be falling behind the pace unexpectedly, struggling so much that they are even losing ground to Ferrari now.

Another race week - great to not have long breaks between races. I saw on social media that Bottas is cycling from Sepang to Singapore, it's like 350km between these cities. looks that F1 now is only side quest for him

Yeah, I remember reasons why this track was out of F1 calendar, and this time they returned only thanks to Bahrain money. And still, there was lot of problems with organization like lack of public transport between track and city, huge queues and similar stuff.
But maybe if they wouldn't race there every season, it wouldn't hurt their budget that much. Something similar like we will have from next season - track rotation between Barcelona and Spa, F1 is going to visit these tracks once in 2 seasons. Maybe something similar can be done with Malaysia.

They can nominate me if they like wink nudge nudge wink.

Yeah, Sepang is no man's land, only grew a town because of the airports, and in my last visit four years ago did seem to be more bustling than I remember but completely out of the way, with a heavy cost just on transport, and then the tickets, well. The track seems to get good ratings but until you fix how locals view it (or insist on oil money to fill up the seats) it will never be profitable enough to warrant hosting.

Well maybe his bicycle is faster than the Cadillac he drive every single raceweek, until now is a complete shit his car and it doesnt seems like is gonna improve at all.

Now that i said that i cant believe how bad this new team is doing, i mean you can do bad but this seems like they cant find the north and didnt know what are they doing, anyone here have hope for them in the next season? Or is gonna be another one in the trash bin?

Thanks darbro! There were two things that keeps me alive until now; waiting the ending story of one piece, and winning the F1 yellow cap. Thank God, now it's back to one thing only! After being runner-up dozen times, finally the day has came. Im going to pm you the btc address. And I believe, Saint-loup and nil_krokodil dont mind to donate their winning money to me

Hahahaha nice one.

Yes finally you won a round and you really deserve it, you were super close before and if you dont miss that round for sure you are gonna be the leader by a good gap.

It seems like your message activate some alarms in the other winners from past round because after a lot of time one of them send me his btc adress, seems like they are not so generous 


Later today im gonna post the new round.

Don't know what you expected ffrom them? For me it was difficult to expect that completely new team will compete for points in their first season. They're doing more or less like I expected. Cadillac now reminds me first seasons of Haas, they struggled a lot. I hope they will make progress next year.
But they can't be compared with worst teams that we had like HRT, Manor or Caterham who combined collected 2 points in their whole history (RIP Bianchi, btw, yesterday it was 12 years from his tragic crash) F1 even reintroduced 107% for these in teams in qualification.

[darxiaomi]

I was not expecting a "good" performance from them but i was expecting at least to not be this bad, since they are a big company i was expecting  a lot more.
