Summary

F1's first race at Malaysia's Sepang circuit was hugely memorable, not only for Michael Schumacher's return after breaking his leg earlier in the year and how he dominated the weekend before handing the win to Eddie Irvine, but also for the post-race controversy that resulted in both Ferraris being excluded - only to be reinstated six days later after winning an FIA appeal. Gary Anderson and Karun Chandhok join host Glenn Freeman to look back on everything that happened around the first Malaysian Grand Prix, including Schumacher's apparent reluctance to come back, Damon Hill's forgettable winding-down of his F1 career, Johnny Herbert enjoying one of his best ever performances, how Mika Hakkinen felt about Schumacher interfering in his race, and all the details on the legality row that broke out after the chequered flag.
