2009 Malaysian Gran Prix Preview

It should be an interesting weekend in Sepang.  Intense heat and humidity have always been a challenge at this track, but the reliability of the mostly new cars in this hot environment will definitely be a factor in the race's outcome . 

Sepang will likely pose a larger challenge to the "non-protested-diffusor" teams, as the Sepang circuit is made up of mostly fast corners combined with long straights.  Any reduction in rear downforce to improve straight-line speed will directly affect cornering grip, and teams with standard diffusors will have fewer options than their rivals.

 Automotive TV, put together this preview of the circuit complete with commentary by ATT/Williams driver Nico Rosberg. Enjoy!
