Malaysian GP 2012 - Sepang International Circuit

[Giblet]

People need to understand not everything is a conspiracy theory.

Perez was going very quick, and on the edge of making a mistake, the team knows him, and could likely tell that it was best to remain calm.

It would be a good idea for some posters to relax a little bit, and not let the excitement of the race and your opinions to keep you from engaging in reasonable discourse.

Don't feed the haters people...
Let them talk, the result speaks for itself.
Yes, Alonso got lucky with the rain.
Yes, he made the pit stops at the right time.
Yes, Perez was faster than him but screwed up.

And there's something you are all aware, that the F2012 is a DOG but yet Fred managed to get it to 1st place...

@Pierce89,

Keep on keeping on. We all saw and heard what happened. Sauber are Ferrari's scapegoats and they were effectively prevented from fighting for a win when they were most likely to do so and had every right to. This isn't racing, it's a bad joke.

reaction of perez shows it all, he made mistake, watch the press conference again

I didn't watch it, if you think his reaction shows it all that only proves the way you perceived it or that Perez is a good actor.

Any Dog can have its day. But a dog WILL NOT win a championship. Fact

Also, Vettel. Lol.

+1

Great (part lucky) victory for Alonso, a much-needed breath of fresh air after all this --- told about them all over the media. Massa sadly is out of pace, out of concentration, out of everything.
I am very happy for Peter Sauber, I almost cryed myself when I saw him. As for Perez, as much as I heard not-so-good-things about him from a friend of mine who raced with him in Formula BMW, I am glad that he got this result, this must give him a good boost to improve more.
If it wans't for that penalty, Raikkonen would have been on the podium.

Call me paranoid, but I think something is going on at RB. Come in, stay out, retire NOW - when Vettel was out of the points - hmm...

[kemalcan]

Perez was almost on gravel trap, he was about to lose everything if he trapped there. How can you accuse Sauber team by letting Alonso win the race. Total BS.

ahahahahah I see many CATS around!

I would argue that what you are saying is far from a certainty, and seems a little strong to be so sure when nobody can _know_ for sure.

Was entertaining clients and saw it on the screen that made myself look like a fool by jumping up going "WOOOOHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOO"

Embarassing...

[motobaleno]

...but of course mercedes is a rocket...

And on the final lap Vettel matched the leaders in the first and middle sector. Nothing wrong with that car.

I'll just quote myself then:

Alonso and Perez both drove fantastic races but what happened in the end overshadows it all. Blatant manipulation of race results is DISGUSTING plain and simple.

The FIA are to blame for this mockery.

Thanks to Sauber, Ferrari and the FIA for causing me to question myself why I'm watching F1 after all.

So you think it's impossible for a 2nd-year driver to screw up on a drying track with the pressure of fighting for the win?

Tough crowd.

I'll assume you didn't hear the part where they told Perez "we need to keep this position" literally half a lap before he went off. If you tell me that was an honest mistake after that transmission it's an insult to human intelligence.

Perez and Alonso was by far the fastest with inter, it's not by luck. Their car was flying.

Free box change by avoiding a penalty? I highly doubt the FIA will swallow that pill down so easily.
