Kimi is a beast. I loved his radio communcation at the end of the race "SeeItoldyouguyswehadagreatcar"
Championship should be real interesting. Ferrari is starting fast. Red Bull is in their usual form. And Lotus has come out swinging. Raikonnen has a real shot at the driver's championship. Even Mercedes had a good pace. If they get their electrical and gearbox demons figured out quick, Lew Hamilton will be up there too. |

Good race. Wheel to wheel start was better action than I have seen in awhile out of F1. Cars looked good..track looked good...good show.

Malaysia Grand Prix: Whom are you picking?
Alonso Massa Kimi Kimi was given a three-place penalty for blocking Rosberg during qualifying. He starts 10th on the grid - which might be too far back to be on podium. However, they have to get through the start and you never know what is going to happen with these lastest 2013 tires - I wonder whom Vettel will defend at the start - Alonso or Massa. Guess, I am going to set my alarm... |

WOW ... Alonso is out! Webber clipped his wing -- HUGE mistake by Ferrari, not pitting Alonso..."Ferrari pit crew waiting"
I think Webber also clipped Vettel's wing. J.C. what a cluster f. Woke me right up! Can't believe that happened. Nico on the move - coming up on Hamilton... You're sleeping? |

I get it - Formula 1 a team will give an order to their driver to maintain a gap or in nonprofessional terms, not to pass their teammate in managed situations – especially near the end of a race. I get it - Teams do not want to see both of their drivers racing each other and end up in the fence and giving away points. I get it - if driver #1 is going for the world championship – the team does not want to see driver #2 winning a race and interfering with driver #1 points. Nevertheless, as a fan I don’t like it – I just want to see the most skilled driver with the best car win. That is all. Here is a good review of Malaysian Grand Prix review: Vettel defies team orders to seize victory Alonso out early Webber takes lead “Mark is too slow” War breaks out at Red Bull No smiles on the podium http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2013/03/2...d-prix-review/ Last edited by Dylan; 03-25-2013 at 12:46 AM.. |

The only downside, you will have to watch Formula 1 races live - in the middle of the night. Otherwise, you would miss NASCAR races when FOXsports replays F1 in the US. |

Vettel's move on Webber was bullshit. Webber turned down his engine on team orders and expected Vettel to do the same and not take it to him. If the order to turn down his engine and hold position hadn't been given then Webber would have been pushing and kept the lead. Sneaky German was sneaky. |
