F1: Malaysian GP

[ID_Disco_II]

Renault continues to outclass the rest of the field by finishing 1-2. Kimi's contention for the championship took a big hit after he was rear-ended and forced to retire. Button takes 3rd, but Rubens still finds himself finishing way back in the field. Juan Pablo puts in another steady performance to finish 4th, ahead of both Ferrari's. BMW showed some real promise with Heidfeld keeping both Ferraris at bay until another the engine made a spectacular exit. Not a total failure as Jacques engine survives as he manages to bring in BMWs first points of the season. As a result of Heidfeld's fireworks, Toyota and Ralf Schumacher both find their first points of the season to finish 8th.

Decent race, but this one was all Renault from the start...

Renault is definitely at the top of it's game. I was also impressed with the Audi R10's at Sebring

TDI's! I wonder what the fuel mileage was? From what I've heard Audi made some strange pit stops to hide the TDI's fuel mileage.

Williams was the surprise for me in the F1 race-- both cars finished, and in the top 10! Maybe they can have a decent year for a change.

Now the big question how do I get my hands on the R10's engine and how can I make it work in my truck.

Renualt is super strong, that's for sure. Handling two hot-weather races back to back is a good sign for them. Ruben's performance is a bit disappointing for me. I am still holding out for a Rubens / Shuey fight!

That Diesel Audi was just awesome!

Ray - Sorry man, wrong race. That was Bahrain. In Malaysia, the Williams duo both managed to exit with mechanical failures. Point made, though about Williams. I would like to see Webber meet some of his expectations. And the way Rosberg is driving, he better!

I'm with you, V2, I would love to see Rubens and Schumi go head-to-head. His pace this season is definitely off, but I am holding out judgement until midseason. I am hoping that has much more a reflection of his new drive rather than the driver.
