2008 Formula One Malaysian Grand Prix

With Kovalainen in P8 and Hamilton in P9, that means Trulli is in P3? Kubica and Heidfeld in P4 and P5? Webber in P6? Glock in P10? Awesome.

This season will definitely be interesting. VERY interesting.

Both BMW's blocked other cars during qualifying last week.

here we go again, never a dull moment in F1. But I think it is not worthwhile for me posting about it any longer.

True, but neither were as blatant or as potentially dangerous as the McLarens today.

Regardless of what may or not have happened last week this decision was still the correct one.

They very well could have but maybe the stewards realized they need to nip this problem in the bud before everyone was going to be trying to block on any given weekend.


Whatever, this should be a heck of a race, this was a gift to Trulli and the BMWs especially but also to the Ferrari's because they can try to pull away early because you know that Alonso won't make it easy to pass him.

I think its time to bring back the percentage rule that they need to be doing the pit-in lap within a certain percentage of their fastest lap....

Yep, I agree. They really should.

Besides this story with McLarens...
Were there those increased wings (or how to call them?) on Red Bull's in Australia? I know they've tested them, but I haven't noticed them during a previous race. Or was I too sleepy?

[RacingManiac]

which one, the shark fin or the bridge wing....

The shark fin

I predict the Ferrari's are going to be quite quick and gap the field a bit, but will fall to their so far miserable reliability.

I don't think so - I'm almost sure it won't become a Ferrari trait to break down at every race.

It should be a good race and a very interesting spectacle for the veiwers. Hopefully the rain will stay away for the entire race distance.

Damn..I didn't expect this from myself. When I saw this fin on pics from tests, I was interested whether it would be on competition cars. But during an Australian GP.. you know, I just woke up at 5 in the morning and I sat in my bed in front of TV and tried not to sleep... I can hardly remember the race I missed those fins
