2017 Malaysia Grand Prix - Sepang, 29 September-01 October

Erm it's a 50/50.

why 50/50 . From VET's onboard you can see that he is following the corner. he's doing that every single weekend. What should he do. When did you see somebody crashing with you on cooldown lap ffs?

Speed was similar to Grosjean's (Car behind during incident)

Because it clearly was. Str was sleeping but Vet seemed to want to start overtaking for a laugh.

I get they you're a Vet/Ferrari fan but it was 50/50 looking at it impartially. You should calm down a tad.

I'm calmed. but from a lots of people prospective it seems like Vettel did that

I wish to spill some oil on the fire but what is this sound at 1:21 mark right before he hits the Stroll.

Monaco, Azerbaijan, Hungary, Singapore and Malaysia are races Kimi could/should have won.

Sounds like engine or gearbox. It also sounds like the rear tires are being dragged along on the tarmac.

Race is over. Racing rules don't apply. Pass at your own risk.

I suspect what we could see is a new rule where overtaking is banned after the checkered flag.

You may be right. More rules. Sigh.

I found the podium interviews interesting in that both RBR drivers mentioned they noticed the Mercs were struggling for grip.

Like every slower car that tries to keep a quicker behind.
- "Mercedes' dominance, engine (inc. modes) advantage, no chance for Ferrari, Friday means nothing." Malaysia = balanced track with tyres influence as you saw and no time to fix problems.

- Should have been Ferrari 1-2. Fake drama, we've seen that before, pity Raikkonen wasn't there : "I don't think any of us knows what it is exactly". Oh yeah.

- Vettel's race was unfairly aided by evil DRS (see: Spain). If only they banned it for this race we could have watched some good, pure racing. "DRS lost Vettel Spain" remains the most absurd excuse ever.

Unfair aided by evil DRS? He was at place 12 before DRS was enabled.

Whats more interesting is why bring the steering wheel? And even more interesting, he doesnt seem to be fiddling with the wheel in the cockpit, it looks like he´s fiddling with something much deeper in the cockpit.

I think it are the marvels / dirt getting of the wheels bouncing around the car.

The sound is out of sync with the pictures.

In the meantime, the season is hotting up nicely, if Lewis wins Suzuka he'll only need to come second to win the WDC.

By the way, my prediction for who the track would suit best was spot on.

Sound is synced correctly in this video... Nothing strange happening other than the actions of the drivers.

The steering wheel thing is unusual, anyone got any ideas on why he took it?
Also no rumours of disciplinary action on Seb hitching a ride on the Sauber? the stewards stung Webber for doing the same in Singapore on Fernando's Ferrari.

Great to see Max on top step after the year he's had.

Webber ran over the track mid corner and hamilton had to correct steering wheel quite a lot to avoid a crash. This was nothing like it. Webber also got a reprimand only, but it was his 3rd, so he got a penalty.

Onto different drivers now that was a chamion's drive from Max. Colour me impressed! Where did he get that from man?? Ha.
