Look at those hail stones earlier in the footage...and the monsoonal rain xD

It was only 11 years ago...yet look at the determination, gusto and common sense drivers had...these days...they need an 80hp push to pass button...a wing that has an overtake button on a straight within one second of the car infront...ice creams, pain killers for a sore bum...what has happened to Formula 1

When I was young, I worked 25 hours 'day dow't pit...

To be fair, Hail isn't all that inaccurate in some regards with what he says.

All this talk seems a bit cynical to me, yes DRS and KERS are used but it's not like drivers don't know how to overtake without them, they are just tools. In my eyes nothing has happened to F1 the drivers are still determined and gutsy as ever and this season has seen one of the closest grids ever no 1 team dominance.

I loved watching F1 in the 2000-2009 I believe the majority of circuits were better in this era and by god the cars looked fantastic but I still love watching it now and really appreciate it you can't deny we are having a ball this season, its fantastic.

Imagine if Fernando Alonso was present there: "Racing is impossible, hard things are dropping on me"

Follow by a red flag and this not footage would not have existed.

He was haha. What happened there? Not enough FIA pull yet?

Brilliant GP, remember it as if it were yesterday.

I miss watching battles that lasted laps on end, nowadays it's just push-to-pass.

What happened with that rediculous pit stop for Barichello? Lost the front right tire?

I was there at Sepang and witnessed how Michael overtook several cars to take the win.

And he finished the race.

I saw this race when I was 16 yrs old, oh the nostalgia
It was fantastic back then, I don't know why I dont enjoy races now like I did back then

Dry ice was in the start finish line, after that at turn 4 you can clearly see hails falling
