Malaysian GP 2009 - Sepang

[ESPImperium]

Race over, less than 10 mins to the end of the race now.

Confirmation, the race will not be restarted: Jenson Button wins.

You've got to hand it to the FIA. They sure are trying their all, salvaging this FUBAR race. IMO, they should have decided to stop the race 20mins after the red flag. 20mins waiting for the rain to stop should have been enough waiting. Now, surely they know that 5pm is not the optimal race start time in that part of the world.

Right, King Dwarf? Don't you think you have enough money to get a decent cremation ceremony already say, 2 years from now?

Is KERS light ON in Lewis's car? With so much rain maybe they should turn it off for now.

It was solid GREEN. Fully discharged.

I'm sorry shir0,couldn't reply to ur pm because you have that option disabled...

oops.. sorry bout that. i can watch the speed tv coverage. just wanted to ask you for a stream of "borrowed" BBC coverage. thanks anyway!

Great job from Button again.

Ferrari zero points again. Shocking call for Kimi to go onto full wet when the track was dry...

strange ending to a great race. Especially the battle between Webber and Lewis. Great start from Nico too!

Excellent tyre choice on Glocks behalf.

Just wish the FIA were faster and more efficient.

I got to give it to Kimi =D> =D> =D> =D> While the others are sitting uneasily in their cars.. he was enjoying his Magnum aiskrim in his shorts..

The most advanced technology of the 21st century... Cannot whistand the rain...

Even though that rain was predicted half a week ago. And then the FIA needs 50mn to state the obvious.

Great show by Webber though. I'd rate him driver of the (half) race, along Glock, and Alonso for his start.

Now let's hope China will be more professionaly handled.

What the heck is going on within the Scuderia?

[ben_watkins]

Great coverage from the BBC this race.. They even added rain to their track graphics! =D> =D>

.

You shouldn't forget the fact that those cars they are man-made and not god-made .

As far as i can recall the last race with a red flag was in Brazil 2003 . Wet conditions and Alonso's accident gave an early finish to that race where Giancarlo Fisichella and Jordan Ford were the winners .

oh so i wasn't the only one who've noticed it! ....err, wait. i watched the SpeedTV coverage, and the rain graphics was there too... It must be an FOM graphics added on their official TV feed then!



On to Shanghai, then! Where (hopefully) the "dead diffuser" will have been legalized and the other teams bring out their own interpretation of it! (get it? "dead diffuser"? out of spirit diffusers? huh? huh? oh, well :-" ...gotta work on my jokes...)

[safeaschuck]

Great coverage by the BBC =D> The team seems to be bedding in, Eddie's putting a sock in it a bit more often, I think he has a tendency towards a nervous ramble but he seemed calmer today

This could very well become a laughing stock of a race and Bernie will be to blame.

I like a SHOWER in a race to spice things up, but watching cars skate of a waterlogged track isn't racing.

Go on?

Time of day, time of year. He sets when to HAVE the GP and has chosen, statistically, the worst time of day.

If it's a tropical storm all the cars will fall off the track and the winner will be the last to fall off.

I really hope it's much drier than the predictions. Don't need the race being caught in another storm.

Damn, proved right - absolute farce...

[ringo]

race should have been replaced by canadian or american grand prix.
the conditions in Malaysia are too extreme.
Vettel showing rookie behavior near the end, should have took his time, he was doing well up to a point.
Webber and hamilton showing the most maturity on the track, i liked how they considered finishing over self destruction.
