The 2013 Malaysian GP should be a pretty interesting race, not sure on the weather, probably wet, but it will be hot and humid as always. It will be the 15th race around the 5.543km long, 15 corner Sepang International Circuit. The race will be 56 laps and 310.408km and Mark Webber & Fernando Alonso’s 200th Grand Prix and potentially Webber’s 10th race win.
Eight different drivers have won the Malaysian GP, with both Michael Schumacher and Fernando Alonso having won it three times. Ferrari are the constructor with the most wins at the circuit with six. The lap record was set by Juan Pablo Montoya’s 2004 Williams FW26, a time of 1:34.223 with an average speed of 212km or 132mph.
The Silly Stats
The male Malayan Tiger, found on the Malaysian Coat of Arms, is around 259cm long, meaning that you could put 2,140 of them head to tail around the Sepang International Circuit. Those 2,140 tigers eat around 36lb or 16kg of meat per day, roughly the same weight of 396 humans.
