F1 Malasia - WARNING Spoiler....
Discussion
Well an interesting race, to me it showed :-
Anthony Davidson - the unluckiest man in F1 this year!
Renault & Toyota - the cars to beat this year
JV - faded grunge monkey, time to leave and let Mr Davidson show you how it's done
Webber - racy & feisty, respect
Ferrari - poor car with spoilt drivers that sulk when they are not winning
Bar Honda - glad I don't drive a honda
Button to leave by end of season to a performing team... Jordan - oh dear, hope they enjoy racing Minardi
Red Bull Racing - proving that Jaguar always had the team just need mngt support and focus. Top drive by both drivers.
But best of all the was a goodish race with a genuinely mixed up order and racing (at last)...
What are peoples opinions of the two Webber incidents?
I think that in both cases Ralf/Fisi were at fault - trying to go down the outside on the dirtier side of the track they should have known they would need to brake earlier...
But, having said that, Webber should have realised after getting away with it the first time what was going to happen with Fisi steaming down the inside.
I know Brundle et al were saying "racing incident" but to my mind in both cases, the car on the inside had locked up and was drifting - therefore had no control over the vehicle. Just that Webber could have avoided putting himself in that position.
Oh yes, and Ferrari - I've a feeling they've just tacked 2005 aero onto the 04 car and done nothing else. Come Europe I've a horrible feeling that their 05 car will revert things to situation normal. Will be interesting to see how the new Fezza fairs against the Renault as it seems to be a stonking car this year.
Think we may even see Toyota getting something for their money this season too.

I hope not, I really hope not.
They also started 2004 with the 2003 car and still won races with it so maybe the tide is turning.
Their 2005 car is supposed to be between 0.5 and 1 seconds a lap faster than the 2004.5 car, which puts it on about the pace of the Renault.
So far this year we've had one race with lower than expected track temps (Melbourne) and one with very high (Sepang). I think it'll be interesting to see how the Bridgestones fair against the Michlins in more "normal" temperatures - at the extremes Michelin seem to have the edge. I think most of Ferraris slowness is the tyres.
