Malaysian GP - Ferrari, 2 Red Blobs
The Malaysian Grand Prix was a breakthrough for McLaren. It’s been a long time since they’ve been so competitive so early on in a season. Even better for us, the Malaysian Grand Prix result proves this championship is going to be a great battle. So on to the points…
Fernando Alonso - Showed just why he’s a double world champion. Must have been extremely relieved to get such a good start.
Lewis Hamilton - I really like this guy. He seems so honest and frank in interviews. From the fact that he admitted it was his tiredness that enabled Kimi Raikkonen to close on him on the final laps, to the way he talked of the stress of having “2 red blobs” in his mirrors for the whole race. Classy performance.
Kimi Raikkonen - Really is doing a good job of impersonating Michael Schumacher. Even has the really glum face when he doesn’t win happening. Still needs to work out how to do a gay jump on the podium when he does win though.. 
(gay meaning happy BTW)
Felipe Massa - Already starting to prove he doesn’t have what it takes to be a world champion. I thought he might give Kimi a run this year. Lucky no bets were placed..
Nick Heidfeld - I always thought McLaren were silly to pass up Nick in favour of Kimi Raikkonen all those years ago. It’s races like this that prove his talent.
Williams - Always seem to put in a great performance in Malaysia. The car was a bit skittish but hopefully they can at least get on the heels of BMW eventually.
Honda, Toyota, Red Bull Racing, Toro Rosso - What on earth is going on with these teams? The gap between them and the top teams is ridiculous this season. Matchbox could make a faster F1 car.
Super Aguri - They’d be feeling our wrath too if it weren’t for the fact that they’re such a young team. As a result, they actually get our praise.
Spyker - We get berated by fans when we make jokes about Spyker so we won’t do that today. We’ll just refer you to the Malaysian Grand Prix race result sheet.

McLaren showed that they came prepared from the word ‘go’ - starting with the practice session. In qualifying, they were the first cars out there. Lewis’ move in the first turn to overtake both Massa and Kimi proved that this kid’s got a brass set of balls, and wants to win. I too like this kid’s spirit.
Did you catch the conversation he had with the team manager over the radio after the race? He congratulated Lewis on a fine race, and for his 2nd place finish and Lewis says “I know I’m going to win a race this year. I know it.” Are you kidding me? He’s only 2 races into his F1 career and he’s got that in his head already. That’s a winning spirit. And why not? He’s got a great car, a great crew, and a superb mentor.
When Button publicly stated “Our car is crap” I had to laugh. Wow, it’s crap AND it looks butt ugly. Win-Win, Jenson.
agrree with most of this, just perhaps would not put Toyota in the same baslet with Honda and Bulls. They are closer to Renault than to Honda. Not that Renault is any good, but they at least both manage to score … points I mean.
Clarke - McLaren certainly have a great driver line-up this year (fool me for thinking the Kimi Raikkonen and Juan Pablo Montoya combo was going to be unstoppable) and their car is finally up to speed early in the season instead of later
As for Jenson, I wonder if the guy has bad luck with teams or the bad luck follows him? Similar case with Mark Webber too..
schwarzworlf - You’re right, the Toyota does look like it might have some speed in it, but they should lose points for making such an ugly car
Of course, Honda would lose more points for their livery.. 
I do not know where to start.
Lewis proved that he has some potential of future champion, but he needs more experience.
Honda… they have a really shit car.
Where is Renault, last 2 years world champions?!? Is the car that bad or are the drivers that bad? WTF is wrong with them?
No to talk about Toyota with around 500 million $ budget they are not capable of building a winning car?!? They are the richest kids in the park, damn it. I can run faster then that car does.
And Ferrari…oooh, they are really good this year.
Robert - Toyota would have to be the most disappointing given their budget.. but at least they’re showing up their arch rivals Honda I guess..
It really seems so far this season there’s Ferrari, McLaren and BMW at the top.. then Toyota and Williams are a mile down the road, and the rest of the team are about 20 miles down the road..
