Didn't see that at JPM's car...McLaren needs some superglue to keep their cars together :P
Trulli blames the poor pace on a broken diffuser.

McLaren during the Malaysian GP. I wonder why they don't have pics on their website where you can see Kimi's car after his visit to the sandbox :)

This is when the car was still okay. They said that Webber had a hydraulic problem, I really thought it was his engine too that was going to blow, like the one of Rosberg.

Sudded leak from hydraulics and oil spraying on exhaust manifold can look like engine blow too.

Thanks for pointing that out. I know all about current f1 news, but I still have a lot of catching up to do when it comes to technical side. I really thought he was going to have an engine blow. But now I know that I didn't really made that big mistake since you say that the hydraulic problem of Webber can look like engine blow. :oops:

Great race for Renault, disheartening for others! The other teams need to step up.

It felt great not to get up at 3:00 am to watch this race.
Over all I was disapointed with the outcome but such is life.
Gongradulations to the Renault team and Fernando has go to be wondering if he did not make a mistake.
To finish first, first you must finish.

It was an ideal race for the Renault team. 1-2 with Fisico finishing first starting from pole.

I think the other cars are comparable with the Renault over one lap. But over a race distance the Renaults are the best cars on the grid. Kimi would give them some competition only if he lasts through the race. :wink:

I do not think there will be a race like Bahrain, that race there were so many unanswered questions at the start of the season, and it seemed that all the teams were equal, the battle between Honda, Mclaren, Ferrari, Williams and Renault, and then in the back field, Toyota, BMW, Red Bull and STR, it was really great and nerve racking.
Simon: Nils? You can close in now. Nils?
John McClane: [on the guard's phone] Attention! Attention! Nils is dead! I repeat, Nils is dead, ----head. So's his pal, and those four guys from the East German All-Stars, your boys at the bank? They're gonna be a little late.
Simon: [on the phone] John... in the back of the truck you're driving, there's $13 billon dollars worth in gold bullion. I wonder would a deal be out of the question?
John McClane: [on the phone] Yeah, I got a deal for you. Come out from that rock you're hiding under, and I'll drive this truck up your ass.
