The main talking point is being discussed
here, so I'll avoid mentioning Webber, and Vettel in this thread.
It had been a bit of a better race up until 'the incident', but there were still too many easy passing manoeuvres with DRS, and the order all became a bit predictable as the race became drier.
The early loss of Alonso made the race somewhat less interesting up front. It seemed like a bit of a racing incident, but Ferrari must be cursing that they didn't decide to call him into the pits earlier. It was a surprise for me that they didn't. Also surprising was the relative lack of pace from Lotus. I also thought that Raikkonen made a few rather elementary mistakes by going off the track while pushing hard. He's lucky that there's no longer a gravel trap at that corner (there should be in my view).
McLaren looked better, and Button was very unlucky. As were Force India. What was going on in the pits? Was the Malaysian heat getting to the nuts and wheel guns?
Another good drive from Bianchi, a better performance from Sauber, and another really terrible meeting for Williams. Maldonado also looks like he's driving in 2011 mode, which isn't good news for the team either.
