There are some news said that Malaysia is hope to have its own Formula 1 team one day, but it won't be anytime soon and it is just a plan. Surprisingly, on 15th September, suddenly there are news saying that Malaysia will compete in next year Formula 1. What the .......Don't know from where suddenly Malaysia has its own Formula 1 team. I was think that these people planning for this should be very serious and too eager to do it.

FIA approved Malaysia own '1Malaysia F1 team' as the 13th team to compete in next year championship. And is the 3rd new team to compete. 1Malaysia F1 team also mark the return of Malaysia own Lotus into Formula 1 . The team is the partnership between the Malaysia government itself, consortium of Malaysia entrepreneurs such as Proton, SIC, Air Asia and Petronas. It will based temporary in Norfolk, UK which is close to Lotus cars factory before shift to proposed headquarter at Sepang F1 Circuit. Tony Fernandes, CEO of Air Asia is the team principal and the team technical director is experienced Mike Gascoyne.

We will see Petronas and Air Asia which are currently sponsor other Formula 1 teams to stop giving their money to them but back to ourselves. This is one of the good side of having our own team. So, now let us wait and see how our team will stand? Are we going to have Malaysian driver? I think certainly yes. Formula 1 car buatan Malaysia? haha.....lets see.....
