The closeness of the field makes this a bit problematic as you are almost certain to lose positions during the stop. But if, let's say you are 2nd just behind 1st and have half a minute gap to 3rd it could work.

but in that case, by the time you have closed the gap you will have asked so much of your tires that you lose the advantage

Except that they had half of that fight on the runoff areas. But yeah, it was still an awesome battle.

Geez people, I remember when everyone was going bonkers about a rash of penalties in 2008 and now when the stewards are holding back it's also a reason to bash about it. After Webber got away with his pinball move on Hamilton in Melbourne it makes sense that Hamilton got away with his weaving in Sepang. And yes, I think if the ex-drivers weren't in the judges panel, those decisions could have been different, but that's irrelevant now, isn't it

and he finnaly deserved it, could have been 3 wins for him... but finnaly he got at least 1, wd vettel

Vettel for me, faultless drive

A good race overall, action down the field, some drama thanks to the mixed up grid, but still suffered from being hard to pass

Wasnt sure whether to give it a 6 or 7... went with 7, if the rest of the year races are up to todays standard, we will have a decent season, but I think this might end up being one of the better ones.

I remember seeing that Trulli waved Vettel by, after he almost stopped on track, maybe that helped the stewards finding their decision

Trulli was slowing with a hydraulics problem and Lotus had told him to continue as it was their home race. He had been lapping around 2 minutes in the closing stages so obviously his car was ailing quite a bit

After watching the race like some three times yesterday, it's still hard to decide who was the name of this years Malaysian Grand Prix. I liked Petrov's performance, while on track he showed a solid driving, didn't have any fear about fighting for positions with Lewis Hamilton among other drivers. Alguersuari did a good job aswell...

But lacking a clear name, I mean, didn't see any driver who have done an extraordinary driving, I'll vote on Sebastian Vettel who led basically the entire race. I could vote on Alonso because he drove 80% of the race with damaged gearbox and still was able to fight for positions, but in the end of all he had a Ferrari in hands...it might not be the best car of the year, but still a Ferrari.

5/10

Fernando

6/10 - Was decent for a Tilke track.

Vettel Winner in everything this week! Good Job!
