F1 in Bahrain... in Malaysia: The race needed a software update to start
摘要
2026年F1巴林大奖赛因与伊朗的战争改在马来西亚雪邦赛道举行。赛前半小时突降大雨，比赛严重推迟。倍耐力全雨胎因水雾过大、圈速过慢，基本只适合在安全车后行驶；半雨胎沟槽较浅，适合潮湿但未积水的赛道，但在赛道变干时会迅速过热并磨损。
Well, it’s safe to say no Bahrain Grand Prix has been affected by torrential rain quite like the 2026 race.
For one thing, it was held several thousand miles from Bahrain itself. The ongoing war with Iran ruled such things out, so the Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia stepped in to fill its spot. One of the best examples of a late-'90s “Tilke track”—named for its designer, Herman Tilke—it’s characterized by a couple of long straights and the always-brutal tropical weather that provides one of the toughest physical challenges on the calendar. And this weekend was no exception.
Heavy rain arrived about half an hour before the start time, delaying things significantly. Although the sport has two different kinds of treaded tires for use in the rain, the full wet tire generates so much spray, and such slow lap times, that it's essentially only useful for circulating behind the safety car. If it’s wet enough to need it, it will be too wet to see where you’re going. The intermediate tire, by contrast, has much shallower grooves and is good for racing on damp but not soaked tracks, although it quickly overheats and degrades as the track dries.
