Hey Guys,
New Fan here. I will be doing this post by doing some comparisons to F1 since I am more familiar with F1.
So my question is: Are Sepang Racing Team the Red Bull of MotoGP or is Fabio the Verstappen of MotoGP?
What I mean by that is that are there a better team than Sepang Racing Team and is Fabio qualifying that bike in a place it shudnt be?

Hello, and welcome to your most honest source of news for racing news in Iceland. Today, I, Matti Haraldsson am here at the Sepang International Circuit with none other than our very own, Stefan Klemensson! Stefan, how are you?
>I'm very good Matti, glad to actually see you before the weekend kicks off!
Ha, all is well on our side, no trouble. So, here we are at Turn 15 at this magnificent circuit, and we have actually brought you here to answer a few questions from our audience, so are you ready?
>Definitely.
Ok, so Stefan, so your first question comes from @SolbjortSigurdar, which asks "Stefan, what information have you received about the chop and change culture of the FRL, with you rising through the ranks only in Icelandic Racing Series?"
>I feel like I have learned so much about FRL, It seems like FRL moves quickly here, faster than I expected, and that I learned that never take anything for granted. That's all really.
That's pretty interesting really, as what you said was basically proven by Aston Martin by chopping out Waka and changing him with Krieger. Which brings me to my next question, from @EddaJons, who says "SteKle, what did you think about poor Waka getting booted? Love you, keep it up! #Chevrolet #StefanMunSigra
>First of all, thanks for the support Edda, I appreciate it. I got to know Waka over the two races he was here, and unfortunately, I think it was deserved. He didn't really have a clue what he was dealing with, and still thought it was just a "Sunday Drive" really. He was nice though, gonna miss him from the paddock
Moving on from Waka, last race Salgado crashed into the same barrier where marshalls were recovering another stricken car, nearly hitting a marshall and ruining Evans' good race. @KlemensHannigan asks of what do you think of this incident, which caused the Singaporean marshall to get an outpouring of support from all drivers. What did you think of this?
>I thought it was very touching, I was mostly impressed by Gil, who instead of just giving him something, decided to spend an entire day with him as his plus one, making him feel some kind of a rockstar. I met the guy with Salgado, he is actually cooler than some racing drivers I know, and he said he loved WLD last season and even though they gave him a fright, will still continue to support them, but I only think he said it because he wanted extra stuff! Don't tell anyone I said that!
Oh my! Haha! And finally, a question from me, Proto and Arcur
