Sepang
(Malaysia) (AFP) - Red Bull's Max Verstappen won the final running of the
Malaysian Grand Prix on Sunday as Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton finished second to
extend his championship lead over Sebastian Vettel to 34 points.
Verstappen,
who celebrated his 20th birthday a day earlier, overtook pole-sitter Hamilton
on lap four before clinching the second victory of his career and first this
season.
Mercedes
driver Hamilton finished second with Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo third and
Vettel, who started at the back of the grid, fourth.
With five
races to go, Hamilton is edging ever closer to the title but Ferrari had a
weekend to forget, after Kimi Raikkonen didn't even make the starting grid and
Vettel lost a rear wheel in a bizarre smash after the finish line.
Verstappen
won by nearly 13 seconds from Hamilton to embellish what has been a tough
season after he failed to finish seven races and only once reached the podium.
"The
car was unbelievable, if I had to speed up I could. It was a very tough race
and incredible to win," said the Dutchman.
Hamilton
admitted the Mercedes had been second-best. "Big congratulations to Max
and happy birthday, he did a fantastic job today," he said.
"The
race was a tough one, obviously they just had the upper hand on us today... I
feel good but I think we have some work to do with the car. Obviously we didn't
have the pace this weekend."
Verstappen's
Red Bull team-mate Ricciardo fought off a strong challenge from Vettel, who had
started from the back following engine problems in qualifying.
"Seb
came really quick at the end and I thought he was going to be a handful,"
said Ricciardo. "But he only had one strong attack and then we were able
to pull away."
Ferrari's
fortunes had dimmed when Kimi Raikkonen's car suffered a turbo failure before
the start.
He was
pushed back to the pit and the race was over before it had even begun for the
former world champion, who had enjoyed his maiden win at Sepang in 2003.
'We ran
out of tyres'
"Obviously
we had some issue. I don't think any of us know what it is exactly. I'm pretty
certain I would have had a very good car today," a disappointed Raikkonen
told reporters.
Vettel, who
led the championship until just a month ago, now has only five races left to
overhaul Hamilton's big lead, starting next week in Japan.
"I
think we have a very good car. If we start ahead, we win the race," he
said. "We had a little bit of sniff at the podium but unfortunately we ran
out of tyres."
Once past
Hamilton, Verstappen started to pull away and by lap 14 he had a seven-second
cushion.
Vettel was
picking off the back markers with ease courtesy of his second new engine of the
weekend, and emerged in fourth in front of Mercedes' Valtteri Bottas after they
both pitted for new tyres.
As the top
four entered the final 10 laps of the 56, Vettel set a new race lap record of
1min 33.864sec, smashing Juan Pablo Montoya's 2004 mark of 1:34.223, and was
closing fast on Ricciardo's exhaust pipe.
Vettel made
one daring attempt to grab the last podium spot up the inside of Ricciardo at
the end of the pit straight with seven laps to go.
But the
Australian closed him off and Vettel was forced to drop back and settle for
fourth as his front tyres started to degrade.
The drama
didn't end there as on his slow-down lap, Vettel collided with the Williams of
Lance Stroll which left his Ferrari with one rear wheel on top of his car.
"That's
impossible," Vettel thundered over the radio. "Stroll wasn't looking
where he was going!"
It was the
19th and last Malaysian Grand Prix at steamy Sepang.
The race
will disappear from the calendar after Malaysia's government decided it would
no longer cover the $67 million a year cost of staging the loss-making event.

“… The New 'Message' from Space
Let me tell you what the message is that is being communicated: Unlock to 44 percent! This is the message: The Human race has passed the marker and is ready for the next step in evolution. I am talking about the old soul. You are the ones who will be first to get this message. It is you, and some of your "old soul" children, who are starting to feel and accept this!
Let me tell you in this lesson today that the first thing that this unlocking will begin to create is what we're going to call Akashic acuity. You're going to start remembering, and it's about time. Can you celebrate this? It's about time that when you're born you don't start from scratch, in the dark, and doing everything all over again. Instead, you remember!
I want to talk to some individuals who are listening to this and are in this room. Have your grandchildren had the audacity to tell you who they used to be? Don't raise your hand; I know you're here. They feel it, and they know it, and out of the mouths of these babes come the most profound information that this planet has ever heard! They knew who they were! Some will point their fingers at you and say, “Don't you remember? I was your mum in another life.” That's a bit disconcerting, isn't it?
I want you to remember one of the premises of incarnation, the one that we have given you over and over. You incarnate in family groups. There's a reason for this, so there is comfort and joy. It's so you don't have to learn the energy of each related person, all over again, each time. The energies of the family stay together and you can accomplish more that way. There's always a benevolent reason for these things. Every single attribute of the esoteric system of life, whether it's your grids or reincarnation, is benevolent. Did you hear that? It's a beautiful system, and not random. It's not about judgment; it's not about punishment. It is, instead, about the love of God for you, and what I'm about to tell you is what is changing is energy.
Akashic Acuity
So we have established that you are moving into this new radiation, and we have established that it intersects the sun. The sun blasts your magnetic field with it (via the solar wind) and the magnetic field talks to your DNA. Suddenly, there is the potential some of your DNA is being unlocked. The attributes of unlocking Akashic acuity will help you to remember who you've been. Now, with this remembrance comes energy - not about who you were, but rather it gives you the energy of what you did. I don't mean physically; I mean energetically and mentally. Old souls carry with them experience. When you look into the eyes of a child, you're going to see wisdom just waiting to break out. Dear ones, these children are different. They are not going to go through what you did! They have a whole new set of issues, and most of their issues are trying to navigate the old issues you create for them!
There's something we brought up in a former channelling called the wisdom factor. Now, the wisdom factor is caused by Akashic acuity. After living Human life over and over, you start remembering the wisdom that you have gained through these past lifetimes. You don't necessarily remember who you were, but rather the fact that you were at all and the experiences you had. Imagine a child coming into the planet knowing how to read? Imagine a child coming into the planet knowing not to touch something hot? Where did it come from? You're going to see more of this, and a feeling of "been there, done that".
Akashic acuity is remembrance of experience during past lifetimes. As the child grows, that remembrance becomes pure wisdom. As the child starts to awaken and the pineal opens, something else happens. The grid starts talking to the child through the DNA, and in the grid is also the information from the time capsules we spoke about in past channellings. The time capsules start feeding the planet with increased wisdom and knowledge. You don't have to reincarnate to awaken even further! Akashic acuity means suddenly Humans know more than other children have in the past - much more. …”
