It's been 11 years of Motorsport101 in your listening world, and to celebrate the occasion in a free week of F1 and MotoGP, Dre Harrison and RJ O'Connell sit down to rewatch a iconic race of the turbo-hybrid era - F1's 2015 Malaysian Grand Prix from Sepang International Circuit.
It was iconic for many reasons. Sebastian Vettel won for Ferrari in just his second ever start in red, after spending almost his entire career to date in the Red Bull umbrella, and he single-handedly injected some hope into the sport again after a brtually dominant start to the V6 era in 2014 - Where Mercedes won 16 out of 19 races, with Lewis Hamilton winning six out of the final seven to take his second World Title. But after a dreadful 2014 for Ferrari, Seb was the shot in the arm that Maranello, and maybe the whole sport needed.
Dre and RJ talk about how Seb might now be underrated by modern-day metrics, how dominant the Ferrari was that day in terms of tire wear, just how surprisingly racy Sepang and the cars of 2015 were back then, and a whole lot more as they rewatch Sepang 2015 in full, and you can follow along too via the F1 TV access, listen in to hear how we did it!
