Malaysian F1 Grand Prix 2016 Qualifying: Saturday’s Results, Times, Final Grid

Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton laid down the gauntlet to team-mate Nico Rosberg on Saturday, as he qualified in pole position for the Malaysian Grand Prix.

Lewis Hamilton will be desperate to turn his recent form around when the Formula 1 circus descends on the Sepang International Circuit for the 2016 Malaysian Grand Prix.

Jenson Button will celebrate his 300th Formula One race start in this weekend’s Malaysian Grand Prix. The Sepang race is set to be the latest phase of the 2009 world champion’s unofficial farewell tour, with Button already deciding to take a sabbatical in 2017 with a view to returning to the grid with McLaren-Honda in 2018.

Mercedes drivers Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton topped a practice session each on Friday ahead of the Formula One Malaysian Grand Prix.   Rosberg, who leads the championship from his team-mate by eight points after three successive wins, was fastest early in the day at Sepang, although Hamilton rediscovered his form in the second practice stint. There was also a bizarre incident involving Renault’s Kevin Magnussen in first practice, as his car continually caught fire in the pit lane.

Liberty Media’s proposed takeover of Formula One has opened up a whole host of new possibilities for a sport widely criticised for being left behind in a rapidly changing world. Talk of a digital revolution, more grands prix—including multiple races in the United States—and a generally bigger and better F1 has dominated the headlines since Liberty’s arrival on the scene ahead of the recent Singapore Grand Prix.

Following an exciting race in Singapore, the Formula One circus reconvenes south of Kuala Lumpur for the Malaysian Grand Prix. On the back of a three-race winning streak, Nico Rosberg leads the drivers’ championship again—for the first time since the end of the British Grand Prix back in July. Last year, with the Malaysian Grand Prix coming in its traditional place at the beginning of the calendar, Sebastian Vettel pulled off a shocking win for Ferrari—the Scuderia’s first in the hybrid V6 engine era.

The 16th round of the 2016 Formula One season will take place at this weekend’s Malaysian Grand Prix at the Sepang International Circuit, where Mercedes can claim a third consecutive constructors’ world championship. The Silver Arrows have enjoyed their strongest season yet in 2016, with Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton winning all but one race between them. As reported by ESPN F1’s Laurence Edmondson, Mercedes’ 222-point lead ahead of the final six races means the team only need to finish within seven and 22 points of Red Bull and Ferrari, respectively, to retain the title. With...

Carlos Sainz Jr. signed a contract to remain with Toro Rosso shortly before this season’s Austrian Grand Prix, but the questions surrounding his Formula One future are yet to stop. Talk of a potential swap deal with Renault, which would see the Red Bull B-team trade one of the most exciting talents on the grid for a cheaper engine supply in 2017, has polluted the paddock since Silverstone. And almost three months later, those rumours just won’t go away. But Toro Rosso have finally moved to stop the speculation, insisting Sainz will not be allowed to leave at the end of 2016. As with... 

Why Stoffel Vandoorne Will Succeed Where McLaren’s Previous Young Drivers Failed

McLaren have a recent history of chewing up and spitting out young Formula One drivers. With 24-year-old rookie Stoffel Vandoorne taking over Jenson Button’s race seat in 2017, will the results be any different for the young Belgian than for Sergio Perez or Kevin Magnussen? Back in 2012, Perez came this close to winning a wet Malaysian Grand Prix, just his 19th F1 race. Ultimately, the then-22-year-old settled for second in Malaysia and scored two other podium finishes in Canada and Italy. In September, McLaren named him as their replacement for Lewis Hamilton, who was leaving for Mercedes. Unfortunately... 

Valtteri Bottas Should Leave Williams for Renault for 2017 Formula 1 Season

The five red lights went out and Valtteri Bottas leaped off the line, instantly nudging ahead of Daniel Ricciardo’s Red Bull and sidestepping Kimi Raikkonen’s slow-starting Ferrari. As he sped past the piece of track reserved for the sister Ferrari of Sebastian Vettel, whose engine failure on the formation lap left him unable to start a race for the first time in his Formula One career, just two cars separated the man who started sixth from the lead of the Bahrain Grand Prix. It was at that point—as Lewis Hamilton, determined to make up for yet another poor getaway from pole position,...
