Outstanding race from Kimi
And kudos to Hamilton and Alonso who both did quite well despite things being against them.
If not for that problem in the pits Hamilton could easily have got 3rd or maybe even 2nd position.

And surprising to see heidfeld put in the fastest lap right at the end.

 

[Dipen01]

Na 2nd was not possible the difference betn Kubica and Hamilton was a 26 sec. So lets deduct 10 sec mishap.. and he still is way behind..

May be small chance of 3rd place..

Edit :- Wopps.. Heiki didnt score Podium in last race But nevertheless he is good

In your dreams. McLaren didn't have the fastest car around and had a lot of set backs; yet he managed something.

I actually didn't see the race fully (Webcast sucked - even in Home 500/2mbps). What happened to Massa?

 

[s18000rpm]

massa powered a bit early out of corner, but saying "something wrong at rear of car that sopt"

if it wanst for his nooby error, ferrari wud be hav been in 2nd spot in Constructor's with 19 pts

 

[prateek_san]

massa ruined the day a bit for Ferrari...it could have been easily a 1-2 finish for Ferrari....damn......why do massa looses his head when required......

 

[aritrap]

Well, Kimi won in Malaysia. Kubica was 2nd and Kovallainen was 3rd(finished nearly 40sec after kimi).

Hamilton had a bad race, finished 5th. He had a 20sec 1st pit stop.

But SURPRISE SURPRISE, Fisichella was 12th, finished ahead of both the Williams, Aguri and Barichello.
But Sutil failed again, spinning off the track in lap 6.

I am very happy for Force India.

Massa also spun off the track.

Lol yeah as of now Heiki still plays second fiddle But that was my wishlist (albeit realistic one) when i said he can pwn Hamilton

Are even i am on 2Mbps and i was watching 1MB CCTV stream.. it was damn clear... IF you were watching through Sopcast then it sucks at times...

Anyways.. Massa was doing good and under 4 secs of Kimi.. and coming out of corner he just oversteered a bit and then tried to correct the error but as there was no traction he couldnt control it.. His car spun on to gravel and he got stuck there..

 

[mad1231moody]

My first post here . Thanks god Force India driver were able to finish the race. Commendable performance by Fisichella, but hope we get more juice out of Sutil the next time.

 

[Hitboxx]

Whoops, am late for the party here, yay Kimi won, absolutely pwned the competition way to go.

And for Massa, as appropriately said by Slater, he just let his heart think over the head. But still Bahrain is in two weeks and he won there last year, so nothing much is lost yet for him, if he wins there, he will up in the table.

Heikki is super smooth, I like this guy, Lewis got competition.

May be small chance of 3rd place..

And deduct the time he wasted fighting slower cars. His pace was upto the mark when he got clear run. It's an outside chance but who knows. He would have got the 3rd surely if not for the mishap.

 

[red_devil]

YAY ! Kimi won !! but that stupid Massa spoiled the Ferrari Party a lil

anyways, i have a small doubt regarding the points system..

in the last race, kimi did not finish but he still got a point 'coz Barrichello was disqualified...but what i fail to understand is why/how was he awarded a point despite him not even finishing the race ???
