The race should be in Bahrain. But there is war. Therefore the cars drive in Malaysia. The race track is the Sepang International Circuit. It is very hot there. The air temperature is 33 degrees. The road is even 60 degrees hot.
The team Mercedes saves money. Therefore the drivers have no cool vest. The team uses the money for new car parts. This is a budget cap. George Russell finds this bad. The drivers sweat a lot in the car.
Before the training there were errors on the track. Someone painted the start places wrong. The pole position was on the left side. It must be on the right side. The workers painted over the error. Now everything is right again.
There was an alarm on the land. People saw snakes. The snakes were in tunnels under the track. The bosses warn all guests about the animals. In the training there were no problems with the snakes.
