Remembering the 2016 title drama at Sepang

Original: The 2016 title battle certainly heated up at Sepang in 2016... 🤯 Lap 1 contact for Rosberg and a DNF for Lewis Hamilton

F1 fans are recalling the 2016 Malaysian Grand Prix at Sepang, a pivotal race in the title fight between Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg. Hamilton retired from the race while Rosberg's race was damaged by first-lap contact, allowing Rosberg's Drivers' Championship lead to stretch from eight points to 23. The recollection has resurfaced ahead of the Bahrain Grand Prix.

Why now: Formula 1 followers are reminiscing about one of the most dramatic moments of the 2016 championship battle, likely prompted by the current Bahrain Grand Prix weekend.
