Formula 1 2013: Round 2 - Malaysian Grand Prix

Kovalainen is in the caterham garage this weekend, talk about him replacing one of the drivers.
Surely they have to act soon otherwise they'll most likely keep finishing behind Bianchi.

Very interesting article appeared on Autosport earlier. If true, it appears that Red Bull are in something of a jocker with their tyre management to such an extent that they have been lobbying Pirelli to revert to 2012 spec tyres. Lotus' Eric Boullier is having none of it though..

Heard that on Sky F1 too. To be honest Red Bull need to move on and stop moaning about the tyres. Lotus, Ferrari look good with their tyre management. As I've said before the teams need to learn how to get the best out of them. This is only the 2nd race of 19!

On the subject of tyres just rewatching the biggest tyre cockup in the history of F1.

The USGP 2005:eek:

8 years later i still cannot believe they messed up so bad.

Only the dominance of Red Bull & Vettel could make a dry race now more desirable than a wet race...thats no mean feat

Hope this isn't going to be delayed or anything.

24-03-2013 8:42am

Wonder if all those drivers dicking about on their way to the grid will be used as an excuse to delay the race.

Why on earth do they keep scheduling the race for late afternoon in Malaysia, when they know its going to rain? This race is going to be red flagged if its anything like 2009 or last year again.

I've just finished watching the Malaysian Golf open and now it's time for this. A strange sporting Sunday it has to be said.

What's the general consensus in terms of tips?

good morning everyone...

GT_TDI_150 · 24-03-2013 9:03am

any idea where i could see the race if i dont have sky sports f1?

24-03-2013 9:03am

Shouldn't take more than half a dozen laps for slicks I'd say, looks very dry on most of the track.

vectra · 24-03-2013 9:03am

Morning

Dicky Pride · 24-03-2013 9:05am

Some start!!!

Sparks43 · 24-03-2013 9:07am

Good enough for teflonso

Idiot could have caused a massive accident

smellslikeshoes · 24-03-2013 9:07am

Could see what they were trying to do, keep him out for a lap or two then in for slicks but there was only one way that was going to go.

Copper_pipe · 24-03-2013 9:07am

ah ffs

24-03-2013 9:08am

I don't blame Ferrari for that, would've lost an awful amount of time if he'd pitted for inters then slicks a few laps later.

As I Kimi fan I really can't wait for it to be dry enough for slicks, he's going nowhere right now.
