The drama began early in the first practice session when Kevin Magnussen’s Renault stopped in the pits with a fire which took several minutes to bring under control. The team revealed he had been running development parts for an upcoming race and a fuel breather fault had caused the fire.
McLaren motorhome
Jenson Button marked his 300 grand prix and McLaren celebrated by turning their motorhome into a British pub.
Felipe Massa
The Sepang circuit had a fresh look for 2016, with a new surface and a drastically re-profiled final corner.

The new surface made the circuit several seconds quicker.

Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo
The Red Bull drivers fought spectacularly over second place – and moments later it became a battle for the lead.
Lewis Hamilton
