Revived Verstappen faces the F1 circuit that has always beaten him
After a chaotic win at Sepang, Max Verstappen heads to the circuit where victory has proved elusive. Can this be the year he finally manages it?
Deputy editor Gordon Cruickshank has been working at Motor Sport for 30 years and in honour of the occasion we sat him down to ask about the ‘good’ old days of the magazine when a certain Wesley J Tee ruled over the publication.

You will also notice some new theme music, which is thanks to Steve Mason.
