Only 9 laps into the race, the Malaysian GP was stopped due to the rainy conditions, only to be restarted one hour later. It wasn't however any less interesting, with Alonso eventually winning the race after withstanding intense pressure from Sergio Pérez. Lewis Hamilton finished third after an unspectacular performance.
Look at Perez getting the Scuderia love. Good on him and his next team.

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.

Education is that which allows a nation free, independent, reputable life, and function as a high society; or it condemns it to captivity and poverty.

Sorry, but someone needs to get some new guys in the McLaren garage......absolutely horrible show from them.
So far this season, Hamilton has lost places in the race literally every time he went into the pit lane. Not a good statistic at all.
They also struggled with Button too.
Away from all that, PEREZ!!!!! WOW!
Excellent race, I'm happy to see the young guys being given REAL opportunities this season as opposed to just being in a car that gets lapped constantly.
It was a great race to watch and I'm truly happy for Perez and to see the guy on top of the podium have a REAL smile as opposed to the "yeah...we won again..woo!" of yesteryear.
F1!

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?
Alonso and Perez both so stoked on the podium. Awesome!!
