Well after this race the biggest problem all teams face is the tires as all teams loose ground on hard for 2 laps at least while soft starting to wear off after 4 or 5 laps and also the temperature of the circuit is going down throughout the race because of the race time now in the Malaysian GP these 2 factors will not as effective as in this race do you think there is a chance of some not so unusual result or we must expect another of such race.

h2McLaren: Sepang unlikely to see significant improvement/h2

Right now an "unusual" result would be someone finishing ahead of the Brawn cars and i don't see that happening. The forecast is for rain rain and more rain in Malaysia. Both the Brawn drivers are very good in the wet. Unless the race turns out to be a lottery, we should expect another win for the Brawn GP. They don`t have any competition for now except reliability.

Bridegstone are taking pretty much the same soft tyres to Malayasia which will be very interesting if the race is dry. I think we might see teams doing two very long stints on the hard compound and a very short, no more than a few laps stint on the soft tyres.

If rain is the prediction for the Malaysian GP I am dead sure then we could have a race to remember.

[genius83]

@roz

Well Ferraris have some miscalculations and some wrong strategy while Mclarens started from the back of the grid and Hamilton got lucky enough to get a podium.

Well 1-2 winning is a term used in F1 to describe about the performance of a team after the race and it means both cars of that team have completed the race in first and second position.

On another forum there is a funny topic going on some of the funny quotes from that all courtesy to those posters of that forum.

Hamilton claims vibration was so bad the steering wheel came off and he had to steer with his teeth.

Lewis says 'car so bad I would have been better of in an ice cream van'.
