2014 Formula One Malaysian Grand Prix

[Milos]

It's also great that this race is live on the BBC aswell. Malaysia is up there with the best circuits on the calendar. Shame about the double DRS zones though.

I must say I like the double DRS zone

 

[Tony Holder]

The DRS zones are pointless...... need to change them.

 

[Chris Jenkins]

They should have to two zones, but you can only use one per lap (that it's available to you on)

Make it more tactical rather than being able to use both every time you're within range.

 

[ENDR]

Another thing - DRS is there to help with overtaking, so why the hell are they able to use it, if they're 1 s behind someone and manage to pass them before the DRS zone. An additional reward for passing? That makes retaking the position quite a lot harder, because you don't have to just keep up with the car in front and attack successfully - first you have to make up that gap caused by the usually quite significant top speed difference on the DRS straights.

Definitely Lewis Hamilton, unless they "let him run knowing there is a problem" again.

Plus, I hope to see Kimi rebound here!

 

[Ho3n3r]

I'd REALLY love a Vettel win here...

 

[Milos]

I'd REALLY love an Alonso win here

DRS should be the first long straight and then the run from turn 3 to 4

 

[Ho3n3r]

DRS should be removed from Formula 1.

 

[Tony Holder]

ION drives should be used in Formula 1....

 

[Nelson Ullinskey]

Remove the DRS! Let them run diesels! Make the rear tyres bigger than the fronts! Allow bigger engines! Run dual turbos! Bring back refueling!

I'm done

I hate that this race will be Sunday at 03:00 in the morning here.

 

[Ralf Ääro]

I have spotted *some* water on the track.

 

[Ray Lexes]

GO LEWIS!

 

[Kjell Eilertsen]

"Sebastian we have a problem with the engine, we think a ctrl-alt-del will fix it, sit tight"

I think RB might be running Windows 98 on Vettels car.

 

[Jimlaad43]

Ericcson slid a helluva long way.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Glad that Vettel is up to speed again. Not such a great engine, wet weather conditions and still be 2nd in qualy. Can't be a bad driver

 

[Dmitry Zaharov]

Good job by Vettel 0.055 off pole though his car is clearly superior in corners to anyone else (bar Riccardo) helped him in the rain. Alonso is very close too, surprising (kudos to Ferrari for changing suspension so quickly). Williams is back to normal service I guess. Lotus improving considering car is not setup at all, rain is not helping them either.

Charlie Whiting pathetic as usual btw.

 

[Richard Eriksson]

RBR has found something, for sure... The car looks to be a lot better than the rest handling wheelspin, as evidenced by Vettel onboards, where he goes very early on throttle even in the damp conditions. New enginemap?

But the real star is Alonso. Semi broken car (front wheel alignments probably not exact after repairs) that is also a bit behind technically but still managing a really good top time in heavy rain.

I think that if the rain persists at this rate, experience will be deciding factor in the race. My bet is now Hamilton wins ahead of Alonso, with Vettel third... Then maybe Rosberg. Biggest climber will be Button.

 

[Chris Jenkins]

I think this was a case of Red Bull's cornering grip still being strong in the wet, coupled with Merc not being able to get the power down into the straights in the wet.

Dry track = bigger Merc advantage.
