You make your own luck, plus F1 is about more than your favourite driver. Only two races have run so far and bear in mind that after the first two races of 2009 Vettel hadn't scored any points, yet he still mounted a serious title challenge.

Still don't get why they start so late. I know the reasons, but everyone knows that it rains allmost every day in Malysia, in the late afternoon. So, fingers crossed.

This track doesn't suck, it's by far the best Tilke track.

I also meant the total package tbh: track design, no parking run offs, lots of green.

Oh I see, yeah, can't really argue with that. Turkey is quite soulless, whereas Sepang does have a reasonable amount of character to it.

Sepang's age also helps to add to its character.

I think that the only reason why it's still starting so late is that Ecclestone doesn't really care about the weather or the safety as long as it's not too early in Europe to have a lot of people watching and so...money, money.

Well, there's one car the HRTs are guaranteed to beat this weekend.

------------------

Turkey would have a much better atmosphere if they could just get more fans through the gates. IIRC there was a significant crowd for the first race in 2005 and it really added something.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

It's just that I want a fair battle for the championship and not someone who was lucky to have a more reliable car...And in my opinion Vettel really deserves a chance for the title, because he drives almost perfectly. But of course you are right that it is still early in the season and I shouldn't make any early statements about the rest off the season.

Well you didn't say that Vettel was your favourite driver but you did say you would switch off from watching F1 if he dropped out of the lead again, so you can understand why I thought that he was. Vettel will get his chance, either this year or in the future. But he showed last year he has got what it takes. Time is on his side.

THIS 8)

Sepang is one of my favourite circuit. Plus it tests both the driver and car. Hot Sweltering Humid conditions to add to it all.

Yeah, that's what I mean. I always enjoyed waking up early for a race. I don't really care wheather it's 04.00 or 14.00
