Formula 1 stewards have confirmed grid penalties for this weekend's Bahrain Grand Prix. Arvid Lindblad and Isack Hadjar have both been penalised for new engine components, while Franco Colapinto takes an additional penalty carried over from the Baku round on top of his own engine change. The news broke during first practice as teams completed setup work.

Formula 1 will hold the 2026 Bahrain Grand Prix between 2 and 4 October at the Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia. The event is an exceptional one-off, with the race usually held in Bahrain, and the full schedule of days and times for the sessions has been released. Fans of the championship are checking the timetable ahead of the unusual change of venue.

The head of Formula E says the all-electric racing championship can close the gap to Formula 1, arguing the series is gaining ground in technology and appeal. The claim comes as electric motorsport seeks to build its audience against the established dominance of F1.
