The Formula One Bahrain Grand Prix was postponed on Sunday due to heavy rain at the Sepang International Circuit, according to the New Straits Times. The race, originally scheduled to begin at 3 p.m., was halted as the governing body FIA deemed the track conditions unsuitable for starting the event. The medical car reported a significant amount of standing water around the track, leading the FIA to send out another assessment.
As of now, no improvement was forecasted for the next 10 minutes. Max Verstappen from Red Bull holds pole position, with Lewis Hamilton from Ferrari and Kimi Antolin from Mercedes completing the front row.
