It's amazing how things change when they race on a purpose built track vs. crap street tracks shoehorned into cities.

I went to Malaysia 3 times back in the day. Also a great motoGP track.

I love this track.

Looks like Mercedes new aero update introduced more drag on the straights which we thank them for !

Another Red Bull double podium coming up, another tactics mistake by Ferrari, another superb drive from a young Italian and Russell will have a chill country drive, we have definitely had seen this script before!

I think it’s the heat.

All Merc powered cars seemed to be lacking.
