2014 Malaysian Grand Prix - Sepang

[Vasconia]

It is going to be the first complete walk-over by the Scuderia Ferrari..
Alonso 1st, closely followed by Raikkonen in 2nd.. and Massa 3rd 40+seconds behind Raikkonen [-o<

In the future if you take a look to the dictionary, your picture will appear next to the term "optimistic".

Ferrari didnt have a good straight line speed so they must suffer in Malaysia, but lets see what happens.

[Aesto]

Anyone else concerned that the problems Hamilton suffered in Australia might carry over to Sepang as well? I have a bad feeling... 5 engines for the year and misfires in Australia.... I really hope they find the cause (without losing the engine).

I here you, with all the bad luck he has had + more severe conditions (malaysia), if a merc breaks down, you can bet your money on it who it's going to be

Right, that's why Rosberg has had 3 reliability-related retirements last year, as opposed to zero for Hamilton

check his bad luck in the mcl-merc period

check his bad luck in the mcl-merc period

Do you honestly think that because Hamilton was unluckier over a short period of time, he's bound to always be unlucky? Have you ever heard of the law of large numbers?

[el-Magico]

Have you ever heard of the law of large numbers?

No, but I did hear about Murphy's law..

[De Jokke]

I know that he 10 times DNF'ed when he was running 1st,2nd or 3rd (mcl period)

and gets to the finish when the car isn't up to it. Coincidence? Nah, bad luck.

[mikeerfol]

More like upper 36 to low 37. and that's optimistic.

What tires are we looking at for this race?

Medium-Hard, as always.

Lol!Maybe your name should be el-Optimistico

3?

I remember one (Hungary when he retired from 8th) but F1Fanatic says only 2 retirements.

[Blackout]

Melbourne.
And the nose of his car broke in Korea but he didnt retire AFAIR.

[Gridlock]

Speaking of Hamilton's luck and tyres, I guess he's due a tyre failure (or "puncture" as Pirelli call them) this race?

[SectorOne]

Melbourne.

Thanks.

[Xwang]

According to you is possible that Ferrari will run in a less conservative way gaining some performance without the need of "hardware" upgrades?

Australia, China, Hungary. It probably doesn't count the latter, because technically he was still classified since the engine blew only five laps before the finish.

[Chuckjr]

He just doesn't seem to be able to focus.

Sure, that's why his engine wasn't working properly.

Quite possibly, actually.

Look up and do some reading if you want on morphogenetic fields, Rupert Sheldrake, imaginal cells and Bruce Lipton. The human mind is capable of much more than simply bowing to Newtonian physics, and aligning to the sensorial oriented experience. Hamilton carries huge energies of racing talent and he, like any human engaged in their chosen field of expertise, have a lot more power to win or lose in life than one may expect.
