Wullie! 8 Posted April 5, 2009 Author Share Posted April 5, 2009 Early reports indicate that there could be torrential rain about 2/3 into the race, which may be key to the outcome. Looks to be another interesting Grand Prix in Malaysia. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie! 8 Posted April 5, 2009 Author Share Posted April 5, 2009 Race red flagged in lap 32. Undriveable due to the rain. More like a boat race than car race. Cars forming up on the grid to see if conditions improve enough to continue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ekbear93 3 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 11 minutes left until the 2 hour limit on any race. Looks unlikely of restarting as there needs to be a 10 minute countdown before the race can restart. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreatRadish 1 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Was hoping for a Williams on the podium today and Rosberg was looking good for one until the rain really got going. Two races in a row that Williams have failed to capitalise on a quick car - they are on a par with Red Bull and Toyota for pace (Rosberg made a mistake in S3 during Quali yesterday which cost him around three tenths). Sadly, we only have one driver capable of doing the car justice, Naka-san is just not good enough. Bernie needs to give up and start collecting his pension. A Malaysian guy on an F1 forum I use warned that an evening race in April over there was asking for trouble, the early-evening storms in Kuala Lumpur are notorious. The race was a complete anti-climax and what was shaping up as a great fight for second, third and fourth between Rosberg, Trulli and Barrichello was spoiled as well as some interesting battles further back. I'm a bit pissed off. More poor pit-wall decisions from Williams and a really disappointing end to an otherwise interesting race weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
