Jorge Peiró recounted that he asked Fernando Alonso what image the sport gave by not being able to race in the rain and after a chaotic formation lap with cars stopped. Alonso said he did not know what had happened and that he expected an explanation in Singapore. He pointed out that he had suffered withdrawals during races that year without the event being stopped, but that on this occasion it was halted when Lewis Hamilton was in the ditch so he could come back out. He described what happened as strange and believed that there was too much technology and that the spectator did not appreciate it. #Fórmula1 #FernandoAlonso #GPdeSingapur (translated)

Federico Albano described the race in Sepang as unpredictable and credited Max Verstappen with a well-deserved victory. According to him, the updates had made the Red Bull more predictable and suited to the characteristics required this season. He added that Verstappen had made the difference in the wet and that the Red Bull pit wall had managed the strategy flawlessly, even with the last pit stop, which in his opinion was the correct choice despite the driver relinquishing the first position. Albano assessed Kimi Antonelli's performance positively, finishing second: he described him as fast and mature and wrote that he had overtaken George Russell. He predicted that he would win the title. Regarding Russell's zero points, he noted that the risk related to the decision not to change the power unit in Baku had materialized, which had ended his championship bid. He also pointed to the Mercedes updates as a technical theme to be re-evaluated starting from Singapore. The commentator described Lewis Hamilton as "phenomenal" and praised his race, while criticizing Ferrari's management. He wrote that the team had misjudged the initial tire choice and questioned the decision to put medium tires on Hamilton after his first stint on softs. In his view, the safety car had given him the chance to secure a well-deserved podium. Albano also appreciated Charles Leclerc's comeback, although he considered him less competitive than Hamilton over the weekend, and noted that the Ferraris had finished third and fourth ahead of a McLaren that he deemed to be struggling in various aspects. He finally reminded that there were seven races left until the end. #F1 #Formula1 #Sepang (translated)

Luca Ruocco wrote that the 50/50 division of the teams on intermediate tires at the start showed how easy it was to make mistakes. He added that Ferrari often ended up on the wrong side of decisions and had made life difficult for itself: in his opinion, it could have listened to Leclerc and pitted or differentiated its strategies. #Formula1 #Ferrari #Leclerc (translated)

Antonino Rendina defined Ferrari's result at the Bahrain GP as excellent, with Lewis Hamilton on the podium and Charles Leclerc fourth. He wrote that both were able to recover after starting from a difficult situation, with dry tires on a wet track, and attributed the result to the skill of the drivers, the pace of the SF-26, and a bit of luck. Rendina added that there was still regret because, in his opinion, Ferrari had complicated a race in which it could have easily aimed for at least second place, if not for victory. #BahrainGP #Formula1 #Hamilton #Ferrari (translated)

Luca Ruocco wrote that in Sepang, Lewis Hamilton had an excellent and tenacious race, contributing, along with the pace of the SF-26, which he believed was the second strongest, to save the situation. He also appreciated some strategic decisions, but judged the management from the pit wall as poor and unjustifiable, criticizing choices of varying severity. #F1 #Ferrari #Formula1 #Hamilton (translated)
