SO YOU KNOW HOW EVERYONE WAS SAYING THAT RACE WOULD BE TOTAL CHAOS WELL MAX VERSTAPPEN JUST TOOK HIS AND RED BULL'S FIRST WIN OF THE YEAR IN MALAYSIA AND IT WAS ACTUALLY THE BAHRAIN GRAND PRIX AT SEPANG BECAUSE BAHRAIN PAID TO HOST IT THERE AFTER UNREST IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND THERE WAS AN HOUR AND A HALF DELAY FROM HEAVY RAIN AND CARS CRAWLING WITH BIZARRE TECHNICAL ISSUES AND HAMILTON DROPPED TO THE BACK AFTER STARTING ON SLICK TYRES ON A WET TRACK BUT FOUGHT BACK TO PASS ISACK HADJAR FOR THIRD WITH THREE LAPS LEFT AND KIMI ANTONELLI CAME SECOND WHILE GEORGE RUSSELL WAS THIRD UNTIL HIS POWER UNIT FAILED WITH FIVE LAPS TO GO AND THEN LANDO NORRIS WAS APPARENTLY DISTRACTED BY RUSSELL'S CAR AND RAN INTO THE GRAVEL. ANYWAY THAT IS ALL I KNOW, GENUINELY.

HOLD ON I HAVE TO TELL YOU THIS ONE BECAUSE LEWIS HAMILTON FOUGHT ALL THE WAY BACK TO THIRD PLACE PASSING ISACK HADJAR WITH THREE LAPS LEFT WHICH IS INSANE CONSIDERING HE CHOSE SLICKS ON A SOAKED TRACK AND LOST NEARLY A MINUTE TO THE LEADERS AND WHOEVER MANAGED RACE CONTROL TOOK FOREVER DECIDING THE STARTING GRID AFTER HEAVY RAIN AND BIZARRE TECHNICAL GLITCHES HAD CARS CRAWLING BEHIND THE SAFETY CAR AT SEPANG WHICH BAHRAIN PAID TO USE AFTER UNREST IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND THEN MAX VERSTAPPEN CRUISED TO HIS AND RED BULL'S FIRST WIN OF THE YEAR AHEAD OF KIMI ANTONELLI WHILE GEORGE RUSSELL'S POWER UNIT FAILED FROM THIRD PLACE WITH FIVE LAPS TO GO CAUSING LANDO NORRIS TO GET DISTRACTED AND DIVE INTO THE GRAVEL. ANYWAY WE LIVE HERE NOW APPARENTLY.
