    Well I wish we would see wet race too and if it happened then Massa have good chance as he has heaviest fuel in his car and he can stay long on the track.

    Thanks Rohit and Dynashox for timely help... Really appreciate it... :)

    Btw...I am wondering what change of sentiments towards nature w.r.t different sports.
    GOD must be deeply puzzled as regards our wishes.... When cricket is ON, we hate rains like anything. But come F1, and we want rains to come along! ;)

    In cricket, the action stop when it is raining. But in F1, the 'insane' action START when it is raining. :D

    Just a couple of minutes now before the race start.

    Edit :

    Wow... It is nearly 6.30 PM here and the race don't restart yet. Seems the race will end with a half race distance to go. :(

    Well it was a sad news and more worst for us as Ferrari second time in a row finish race without points. I think Kimi did biggest mistake in the race to come out with wet tyres 2-3 laps ahead which cost him atleast 30-40 seconds in 3 laps. Ferrari did 2 mistakes in 2 days and see what happened now. They need to correct this problems.

    It also good to see KERS system in race in early part of race specially first lap with Alonso.

    Ferrari make a big gamble with the choice of tires for Kimi and this time, the luck is not with him. I think Ferrari is missing Brawn tactical experience now especially with the introduction of the new rules.

    But seeing from the positive side, Massa don't even score any point in the 1st 2 race but still become the driver championship contender after that last year. Just wish the same thing will happen this year.

    The race is good especially during the rain until the race is suspended due to the heavy rain. That's why drivers are against racing at the late evening in the first 2 race and in Malaysia this what will happen.

    Glock was put down a place because the stewards had to get the finishing results from the last full complete that Button did on pole, and that was lap 31 and Glock was in 3rd then. Im mostly surprised on how Hindfeld managed to become 2nd!!!
    I have to say it was very complicated and I'm sad that the rain came down so much :| Was looking forward to a good finish.

    Yes it's bad luck but rain surly help Ferrari as only half points given to drivers and I think in China Ferrari will come out with new tactics. Sumi promise that he will do anything for Ferrari to win titles.:)

    For some strange reason, the first two races of this season has been pretty lackluster for me and they have failed to create the excitement that previous races did....:eek:

    Is this experience confined to just me or everybody else is feeling the same? :confused:

    May be you are Ferrari fans like me.:D Yes something is missing in races! New Rules looks not good. Also there is hearing for KERS system on April 14 so we would get more idea about KERS system. Yesterday everything was going good but rain was too heavy otherwise it may be a good race to end!

    For me, this season races are much more fun to watch with a lot of overtaking happen thanks to the introduction of KERS. Beside, the lap time for majority of the cars only have a small margin so there are chance for everybody to win the race. Only good pit stop strategy that make the different between the winner and the loser.

    KERS out from the next GP? Are you sure? I thought 14 April is the FIA hearing for the diffuser protest. But if it true, it will reduce the excitement this season.

    You are spot on! Probably since Ferrari are not to be seen in the top 5, I am struggling to keep my interest in the races! :eek:

    Even the likes of Hamilton, Alonso and Barrichelo are not seen in the front, making the tempo go down for me..I guess.... :(

    Oh sorry! It was my mistake.:D I was typing on other F1 forum on KERS and I wrote it here.:D Yes it will be on diffuser protest. Yesterday some media blame Sumi for Kimi's tyers changes but I think Sumi might be right if Kimi take his pits after one more lap then he might be ahead of everyone!

    I want to see some action from Ferrari!:D
