Definitely someone to watch out for (considering that other guy in the last 10 laps pulled out because of exhaustion...!)

You talking about Wilson pulling out? If so, he had to stop because his HANS device had become unsecured, pinching a nerve in his neck, paralysing his arms. Not exhaustion at all, just another stupid FIA rule making HANS mandatory.

I think Schumi has to definitely be feared.. 6th overall in the race AND he went into pit lane FIVE times... that is simply amazing, same as in Melbourne.. He still hasn't DNF'ed since 2001!!!

Schumacher pitted four times, one of those he didn't stop. I think Kimi would have won anyway. It was not Bridgestone’s day.

I feel sorry for Barichello... even when schumi didn’t win, he didn’t get 1st either.. ;(

How can you feel sorry for him, he's making a millions and travelling the world driving fast cars! Only downside is some observers will say "Michael would have won therefore Rubens is crap". Forgetting that Michael DIDN'T win because he wasn't fast enough, or clever enough either.

oh yeh, props to our own ausise guy webber, who got stuffed by his car again..

Jury is still out on Webber as far as I'm concerned. Being outqualified by Pizzonia won't help matters. Wonder who will get the sack over Jaguars current spate of problems? Can't be many people left.

I think the Sepang was the most thrilling F1 race I have ever seen (consider me a newbie only watching it since last year.. where it was... boring)

Yes, last year was so bad anything would look good in comparison!

How about Toyota, out in the 20th lap or whatever because of fuel miscalc.. hillarious...

You talking about Panis A fuel pressure problem was the official reason for his retirement, just after his pitstop. Your not suggesting he ran out of fuel, like Alesi at Albert Park in 1997 are you?

I think Ferrari will dominate again, but this year will be alot more competitive..

Indeed they will, as soon as Bridgestone provide them with better tyres and the drivers stop screwing up.

**Ahem**

How about build F1 Cars?
And before anybody says the Italians do it better, let me remind you Ferrari have an English Technical Director, an English Chief Mechanic and have had many English Designers over the years. The current Designer is a South African, but I believe he was trained in England.

Drink beer, soccer riots.......did I miss anything?

BTW, I am English, so I am only talking about my own people....lol

But seriously, give them some credit, Mclaren is a British based team, as are a few others, and there are a couple of pretty good WRC teams based in England too.

And then I wave my little South African flag for the 19 years I lived in South Africa too
