Motorsport site RaceFans revisits the 2016 Malaysian Grand Prix, where Daniel Ricciardo took victory for Red Bull while Lewis Hamilton's engine failure handed a major hit to his championship hopes against Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg. The anniversary feature recalls how unreliability, rather than rivalry on track, shaped that year's title fight, prompting fans to relive one of Hamilton's most costly retirements.

Why now: The anniversary of a memorable and pivotal Malaysian Grand Prix is being marked by F1 fans and media.
