F1 Malaysia

Qualifying was amazingly close again and it won't be long before there is a different driver in poll position. The race was very exciting until the rain came down. There was always a half joke that a wet track spiced up the races and made them more unpredictable. I suspect that will no longer be the case under the new regulations. The racing was very close in the dry and there was a lot of passing going on. There were even some ding dong battles as drivers traded places several times over the coarse of a lap, something that had become quite rare in recent memory. I'm still not convinced that Kers is worth the extra weight.

It is quite shocking how badly the the big teams are stumbling. Ferrari seem to be all at sea. The car is not competitive and even their race strategy seems dubious. And how does Mclaren get itself into these messes? I just stunned that one of their most experienced team members could do something as stupid as lying to race officials. It would be completely unbelievable if the proof wasn't so damning.
