Promoting real and genuine motor racing spirits in Malaysia.

Greetings to motor sports fan all around the world.  Today,  I am going to talk on promoting motor sports in Malaysia. 

A motor sport is a sport that uses motors, regardless of auto racing,  ranging from open to enclosed wheel racing,  and motorcycle racing. 

The real motor sports fan know that FIA governs 4 wheel or more auto racing while FIM  governs two wheeled racing. 

As in Malaysia,  we didn't know about real motor sport until 1999 when Malaysia hosted inagural Malaysian Grand Prix,  that Eddie Irvine won the first Malaysian Grand Prix by driving Ferrari F399.

As a real Formula One fan from Malaysia,  I believe that Malaysia can use enough money to promote Formula One and high ranking motor sports by training young talents from kids to adulthood to become a real,  genuine raving drivers that race on track,  not street.  

Well, after I read some success in Mercedes-AMG F1 Team,  I believe that Mercedes AMG Petronas Motorsports can establish a racing academy in our country that can train our young and aspiring future generation to become a real racing drivers.  

The Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport was founded in 2010, with founding driver, Nico Rosberg and Michael Schumacher shortly after the purchase of Brawn GP along with Aabar Investments in 2009, as a comeback form more than 50 years after the absence of Formula One from 1956.

Between 1954-55, Mercedes-Benz raced as Daimler-Benz AG. and won by Argentine racing driver,  Juan Manuel Fangio Deramo,  respectively. 

Sir Strling Craufurd Moss OBE, the greatest driver never to win the World Championship, also competed in Mercedes-Benz in 1955, finished as 1st runner up behind Fangio.

Unfortunately,  the 1955 Le Mans Disaster happened to Mercedes-Benz not only led the feared death of Pierre Levegh (real name is Pierre Eugene Alfred Bouillin) and 83 spectators while 180 and more suffered from sustained injuries , but also caused the Mercedes-Benz no longer to involve in motorsports until 1989. 

Before returning to Formula One as factory team,  Mercedes-Benz returned to F1, as engine supplier from 1994 when they supplied Sauber and named as Broker Sauber Mercedes in 1994. In 1995, Mercedes-Benz switched to McLaren as engine supplier until the return of Honda in 2015. Before the return, Mercedes-Benz has two constructor champions (McLaren in 1998 and Brawn in 2009) and three world champion drivers (Mika Hakkinen (1998-99), Lewis Hamilton (2008) and Jenson Button (2009)). 

Mercedes-Benz returned to Formula One as constructor in 2010 as Mercedes GP Petronas Formula One Team. In 2012, the team was renamed as Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team to symbolize Mercedes-AMG's direct involvement in Formula One. Under the leadership of Niki Lauda and Toto Wolff, Mercedes-AMG not only producing three times world drivers and constructors champions, but also showing the charm and intelligence to Silver Arrows.  Shortly after the Nico Rosberg's retirement when he completed. his mission,  Mercrdes-AMG eventually hired Valtteri Bottas from Williams Martini Racing as replacement and as running mate of three times world champions,. Lewis Hamilton, to complete their charm and intelligence to Silver Arrows. 

From the paragraphs above,  I believe that Mercedes-AMG can establish a racing academy in Malaysia, not only teaching them the way to race like Lewis and Nico, well plus Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel,  but also can educate them in science and technologies,  well plus Mathematics and languages to let them master the car with their brains because Formula One is a dangerous sport that needs brains and brawns to complete a car and a race,. while they can communicate with tram officials with just piece of cake. 

Well,  I believe this is a good idea because by establishing an academy,  not only they can trained to beat their idols and becomes world champion just as how our neighbor champion swimmer, Joseph Schooling does on Michael Phelps to show that "Idols are not to be worshiped only,  but to challenge them", but also producing a real genuine racing drivers on track,  not street. It can also nurture their auto racing values by becoming a real genuine racers and it can ultimate reduces the Mat Rempit cases to a zero level. And by establishing a racing academy to educate real racing among future generation,  you can never hear any cases like the Johor Bahru one that caused the death of 8 and the prosecution of the Chinese Female Driver,  Sam Ke Ting,  total and complete. 

You see,  our 11 years old Japanese Girl, names Juju Noda, is an aspiring racing girl that debuts herself as professional racing driver in Formula 4. 

The 11 years old child prodigy that starts professional racing and becomes the first race to start career since primary school possess her motorsport spirit and she wishes to join F1 and be "the first Asian and female F1 world champion" and also "Asian Female version of Michael Schumacher". Her prodigious racing skills make her is so noble compare to the vimpy kids who loves illegal bike racing that she shows genuine racing drover style that is worthy to be promoted in our Motherland. 

Furthermore,  we can produce motor racing talent show to produce real racing talents.  For example, our Wah Lai Toi, the leading Dynasty Pack channel, if they can produce motor racing talent show along with FIA, TVB and Mercedes-AMG Petronas, well plus Automobile Association of Malaysia, not only it can be a great racing talent show for Wah Lai Toi and TVB Jade, but also promoting motorsports spirit among us regardless of race, language and religion. And you should realize that this show is more thrilling than Miss Astro, well plusAstro New Talent and also Xiao Tai Yang Kids Talent Show, because.motorsport meeds a lot of energy and knowledge to complete for, and it's thrilling among us while it can be broadcasted on free TV too.

This article is my opinions on promoting motorsports spirits in Malaysia that we can have Formula One World Champion even though we have no more Formula One from 2018 that our motor sports spirits are always on our body,  heart and soul.  Thank you for reading this article. This is Manuel Smith, a real motor sport fan,  signing off.
