🇲🇾 Exactly nine years ago, F1 was in Malaysia, and back then... 🦁 Max Verstappen claimed just his second F1 victory 🏆 Nico Rosberg was the reigning champion 🧒🏻 Kimi Antonelli (the current WDC leader) was only 11 🏁 Pierre Gasly drove the first race of his career Read more...👇 #F1 #Malaysia
Sebastian Vettel (Ferrari) was fighting for the title against Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes). In that race, he staged a comeback from P20 to P5. Meanwhile, Hamilton secured the 70th pole position of his career

Back then, Aston Martin was Force India, Audi was Sauber, Racing Bulls was Toro Rosso, and Alpine was Renault.

Also, all the current teams had different driver lineups - with the exception of Verstappen at Red Bull. 10 of the current drivers competed in that race.

Carlos Sainz drove penultimate race for Toro RossoIt was the first year after Bernie left F1 management.

F1 had its old logo.

F1 had grid girls on the starting grid.
