I was there in 2009! I was 10 years old, I was living in Vietnam back then due to my dads occupation, so we decided to go on a family trip to watch the Malaysian GP! I remember Friday practice and Qualification were both sunny and clear skies, but waking up on Sunday there's been a bit of a forecast! Fast forward, we arrive at Sepang Sunday and we were supposed to meet Lewis Hamilton in person, he had an open public QnA sort of thing, but that got canceled and my dad was a little bummed out because we were waiting for 2 hours and it got canceled. I remember clearly how loud it was, and everyone was buying ear protection, those v8's sounded beautiful! The race had started and everyone was on top of there seats from all the excitement, half and hours into the race in started raining and about an hour 45 minutes to an hour in, it was absolutely pouring cats n dogs. I remember cars sliding off in turn 1 because that's where our seats were and it was unbearable to drive in those conditions. So, the race was canceled, Jenson Button got the podium and we were disappointed everything turned out the way it did... nonetheless it was an unforgettable experience.

Malaysia's weather is unpredictable, it has no winter,spring,summer and autumn. Actually we have them all. It just doesn't follow the season. I proud to be Malaysian! 👇🏽

I remember Shuey just recovered from broken leg and come back to race in Sepang,( my home here) where he also set the fastest lap time then. Many memories.

And KZbin recommended this right after Spa

I miss seeing Sunday's races in Malaysia. I remember that race well. The most chaotic, with vital conditions under a very heavy rain.

Anyone else here whilst waiting for Spa to start?😂

As an malaysian this is pretty normal and a best time to sleep
