Sepang is the host for the second round of the 2015 F1 calendar. Will we have a repeat of the awful Australian Grand Prix, or will this be another year of different winners, such as we had in 2012?
The Malaysian Grand Prix is being held once again at the Sepang circuit. Hopefully we will miss the late afternoon monsoons which are so prevalent in Malaysia this time of year. But will we miss the FIA’s next attempt at heavy-handed knee jerk reactions?
Sepang GP
Qualifying is on the Saturday at 2 p.m. and there will have been some feverish work for a couple of the teams to get ready for Malaysia, with only a few days break since Melbourne two weeks ago. Red Bull will be fitting new engines and gearboxes! Will Sauber have three seats again? Can anybody get even close to the Mercedes cars?
It should be noted that Williams are running Mercedes engines, supposedly equal power units, but nowhere near as quick as the factory team. Why? If the engines are the same, what demon tweak has Mercedes found in the chassis or aero?
The race begins at 2 p.m. (Thai time) on the Sunday and we will be watching as usual in front of the big screen at Jameson’s Irish Pub, Soi AR, next to Nova Park. Join us for lunch and a couple of beers before the GP starts. The easiest way to find us if you haven’t been to Jameson’s is to turn right into Soi 4 from Pattaya Second Road and follow it up and around for 200 meters and Jameson’s is on your left hand side. You can’t miss it.
The next Grand Prix is at Bahrain on April 19. Don’t miss it!
