Sebastian Vettel has won the Malaysian Grand Prix four times, more times than any other driver, but he admits that the race is one of the toughest on the calendar and getting everything right is the toughest task.
Speaking ahead of Round 16 of the 2016 Formula 1 World Championship at Sepang, Vettel said, “Malaysia is usually the hottest race of the season, it’s very challenging. You have a lot of high-speed corners. It’s very tough on tires because usually it’s so hot.”
“There are chances of rain at some point of the race. There are thunderstorms there nearly every day. It’s not easy to get everything right but if you do it, it feels great.”
“It’s one of those places that challenges you. But if you get on top of it it’s a great feeling that we had last year and obviously the target is to have it again.”
Vettel has fond memories of last year’s race which he won, his first victory in red, “We did very well last year, so we’ll try to repeat what we did. For sure the first win with Ferrari was very emotional and very special. We had a great race and a fun night after that.”
“I have good memories and I am looking forward to going back to Malaysia and hit the track,” added Vettel who has not won a grand prix so far this season.
