Formula 1 Malaysia

[Classic Finn]

Looks like it went very well for The Finns in Formula 1 Malaysia this time.

Congratulations (Ice Man Kimi Räikkönen) & Heikki Kovalainen.




It was a great feeling to see 2 Finns side by side.

Next year they are going to freeze engine design for a number of years. Ferrrari better work quick on it's exploding engines or Kimi is going to have trouble repeating. He is definately the class of the field when using F1 cars without electronic aides. Maclaren is the car that I would want to be in though. Love the new BMW but don't like the look of the nose. Looks like a small space shuttle has landed on it.

Can hardly wait for the next two races as you can't change transmissions for 4 races and we should be seeing some issues soon. If you don't count Kimi and Weber's transmission problems already.

Getting rid of all the aides has surely livened up things. Nice to see rear end out power slides again.

Now if they would only bring back the US GP.

It was a good race weekend...nice to see Kubica and Kovalienen on the podium. I'm still disgusted that the FIA docked the McLaren's after qualifying...they were going slow, but so were about 6 other cars...including the red ones!
What was with all that brake dust on Hammy's car?!!??

'Going slow' isn't against the rules and that's not why they were docked

They were impeding the racing line which they admitted - Even Ron Dennis said is was a penalty they deserved . . . . and he doesn't agree with them all that often

I understand the penalty...but...even by the limited camera shots there were minimum of 6 other cars doing the same thing. Including Heidfeld's teammate.
My problem is I just don't like it when questionable rules and officiating directly influence the result of a race. I'm not an Alonso fan but I didn't like it when he got the same penalty a couple of seasons ago.
