The 2006 Malaysian Grand Prix Preview
Formula One moves to Malaysia for the second race of the season, just seven days after the promising start in Bahrain. If the Sakhir race was anything to go by, the Malaysian Grand Prix looks set to provide the fans with another close and action-filled event. Tom Keeble previews the Sepang race and rates the teams' chances of success in the second round of the championship
Following one of the closer opening races of recent years, the circus is moving straight on to Sepang in Malaysia, where the hot climate can stress new engines that are on their second race weekend.
Analysis
The Sepang circuit is modern and challenging in almost every respect. A combination of long, fast corners is interspersed with long straights and slow corners; varying cambers and a wide track offer choice of line, whilst hot temperatures stress engines and drivers.
