Wow, what a fantastic race, totally loved that. Best Malaysian GP ever!
First things first, DRS, the big talking point - I didn't feel it was fake at all. It is still a little fake in that only the attacking driver can use it but it did its job perfectly here, only helping a driver overtake but not doing all the work for him. This is exactly as it should be, it shouldn't always gift an overtake move, it should still be difficult.
Most of the overtaking and battling in this race came from the Pirellis. We had a lot of battling in the middle of corners, even on the high speed sweepers which supposedly are bad for overtaking! I laugh when I hear Jake saying a lot of people were crying "Fake racing!" on twitter, I guess Kobayashi and Schumacher's battle lap after lap was fake, eh?
Congrats to Vettel on a great victory again, but this time it wasn't just on pure pace it was mainly thanks to both the misfortune of others and perfect strategy calls from Red Bull. I don't think everyone should be worried so much that the Red Bull is too fast this year, certainly RBR showed much better strategy this time though. McLaren were right there on pace, even Renault and Ferrari are very strong in race conditions with the changeable tyre strategies all playing out.
Amazing starts by Heidfeld, Schumacher and Petrov. Awesome battling from Kobayashi, Hamilton...gah I can't remember all the names! Too much went on this race that I've barely registered half of it!
How can some of you fell asleep half way through the race I really do not know, you must fall asleep watching most motorsports then!
