A video posted on Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s Facebook page shows the former prime minister, who celebrated his 99th birthday on July 10, flooring the pedal at the Sepang International Circuit (SIC).

At the beginning of the three-minute-and-14-second video, Mahathir is shown seated in the passenger seat of the Audi Q5 SUV as he is driven around the circuit by its non-executive chairperson Mohamed Azman Yahya.
