Driver Performance Coach Reviews Qualifying at Sepang
In a new qualifying analysis on his YouTube channel lowerlaptime, driver coach Martin Villari breaks down the 2026 Bahrain Grand Prix at Sepang, where Max Verstappen took pole position ahead of Lewis Hamilton in second.
The video examines the technical demands of the Malaysian circuit, including the zero-apex approach to Turn 14, the off-camber Turn 15, and the challenges of Turn 4.
Villari also looks at how toggle changes shaped the session and how Antonelli managed his driving through qualifying. The analysis covers George Russell's performance, the early exits of Hulkenberg and Albon in Q1, and the key factors behind the Verstappen versus Hamilton matchup.
