Max Verstappen claimed his and Red Bull's first win of the year in a chaotic Bahrain Grand Prix held in Malaysia, after long delays caused by a software bug that affected multiple cars before the race, which drivers including Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton likened to a 'Lego race.' George Russell retired from the dramatic event, while Hamilton impressed with a strong recovery drive.
