With the teams already well prepared for the Malaysian Grand Prix, but what can we expect from the Sepang Circuit, temperatures are expected to rocket, with a good possibilty of rain.

So, what can we expect, the first race was memorable with McLaren driver challenging both the Ferrari's, it made a very exiting race. Unfortunately, over the past 8 years when the race was held at the Kuala Lumpur circuit, McLaren have only won one race. The team are aiming to beat that record, and win with either Lewis Hamilton or Fernando Alonso.

With the McLaren team looking good in the pre Malaysian Grand Prix tests, which are also at the same circuit that they will be racing on. Britain's Lewis Hamilton is looking good, after finishing first on one of the three days, and remaining competitive throughout the testing days.

The weather will play a huge factor in the race weekend its self, with rain forecast over the entire weekend, McLaren are looking good with their wet setup that they were able to obtain on the third day.

Despite the rain, you can bet that the temperatures will be sky high, and the humidity will be unbarable, leaving some drivers to lose focus, and crash or retire.

"The Malaysia Grand Prix is always a great race to watch and so is the Qualifying; this is one of those circuits that guarantee excitement and controversy. With the Unpredictable weather another exiting feature of the race, you just don’t know what can happen, and it makes the racing just that bit more unpredictable. I have enjoyed every Grand Prix there, and I always will." Sam Cooper
