Inter Milan overcame a controversial red card to 10-man Juventus, storming back for a 3-2 win with goals from an own goal by Andrea Cambiaso, Pio Esposito, and Zielinski's 90+1 thunderbolt—his first Serie A strike this season.

Juventus equalized twice through Cambiaso and Manuel Locatelli but fell short, dropping to fifth on 37 points while Inter surged to 48 and an eight-point lead at the top.

During Bahrain pre-season testing, four-time champion Max Verstappen criticized the 2026 regulations for demanding too much energy management, making races less fun and preventing flat-out driving. Lando Norris, the 2025 title winner with McLaren, shot back that drivers like Verstappen, who earn huge paychecks, shouldn't complain and can quit if they want. George Russell agreed, while one unnamed driver confided to a podcast that Verstappen voiced widespread frustrations many keep quiet to avoid clashing with F1's push for the new rules. Early tests also highlighted turbo lag and start issues, with teams calling for fixes ahead of the new era.

Key Takeaway

Max Verstappen climbed out of Red Bull's new 2026 car after three days of testing and didn't hold back: the heavily revised machines feel more like 'Formula E on steroids' than proper F1 racing.
