2009 FORMULA 1 PETRONAS MALAYSIAN GRAND PRIX
[/center]
- WikipediaFirst included in the Formula One World Championship in 1999, the current Malaysian Grand Prix is held at the hyper-modern Sepang International Circuit at Sepang, Malaysia. FIA-sanctioned racing in Malaysia has existed since the 1960s.
The 1962-1965 seasons of the original Formula 2 Grand Prix held on the Thomson Road circuit in Singapore is regarded as an earlier precedence of the Malaysian Grand Prix, when Singapore was originally part of the Malaysian federation from 1963 to 1965. After Singapore seceded from the federation in 1965, the Grand Prix continued on until 1973.
Between Singapore's departure from the Malaysian federation and the opening of Sepang Circuit, Malaysia hosted a range of other racing tournaments at Shah Alam's own circuit between 1968 to 1995, including the Tasman Series (1968-1972), Formula Pacific (1973-1974, 1978-1982), Formula Atlantic (1975), Formula Two (1977) and Formula Holden (1995).

5 Day Forecast
Less than a week to go until the Free Practice 1 gets underway in Sepang. Vettel has a 10 place grid penalty and Brawn come here after a 1-2. Can Brawn pull the same thing off, will Vettel come through the field, will Ferrari be on the pace and will it be an overtaking filled race? They are the talking points to get this topic started.
Please try to leave the discussion of penalties out of this topic unless they are given in Malaysia
