Exactly 7 days to go! To the second!

Coverage on Sky is a little bit earlier but will still be tired pretty much all weekend with an 8 hour time difference in Malaysia!

More McLaren mastery please!!

I hope that I'll be able to watch this.

I have a feeling Mercedes are going to give a fight for the win here. Long straights, and they have some good downforce as well. Their only problem is tire wear though, and Msia is a hot place.

BTW, it's been raining here like a b*tch in the afternoons...I mean really pouring. Hope we don't get another 2009 race where half of it wasn't run.

[vlad]

Yeah, we need a full race...
So, nice prediction, I must say. Mercedes could really be strong there.

[Frontrunner]

thats the problem, can't have heavy rainy races anymore, it will just be follow the SC for 20 laps or red flagged.

[yamashek]

i predict another mclaren lock-out, and mclaren 1-2....even though i wish it was some thing else..

but let's be honest, their engine is the best in the pit lane, and they have good areo


red bull, good aero (relatively), down on power...

mercs, ?????????????

ferrari, alonso IS the aero on the car

i HOPE (race finish): VET, BUT, anyone else

[What's Burning?]

We're going to see different results in tracks that are easy on tires versus tracks that are harsh. Tires are going to be a huge factor given the compacted performance up and down the grid. It's going to be a very interesting year!

I did wonder if I was supposed to put the official name of the grand prix and in caps and now my question has been answered, lol.

[What's Burning?]

We just cut and paste the official F1 name. Sometimes they don't always fit.

No thanks.

Already massively looking forward to this race! The circuit at Sepang is a good one, with overtaking opportunities aplenty. I'm hoping for a dry race, because it only ever seems to rain in massive storms here, rather than showers. I'm looking forward to more of the three-abreast racing battles that we've seen in recent years, especially going down to Turn 15, and also heading towards the first turn.

Just for memories' sake, here is a list of the previous ten winners of the Malaysian Grand Prix.

2011 Sebastian Vettel - RED BULL
2010 Sebastian Vettel - RED BULL
2009 Jenson Button - BRAWN
2008 Kimi Raikkonen - FERRARI
2007 Fernando Alonso - McLAREN
2006 Giancarlo Fisichella - RENAULT
2005 Fernando Alonso - RENAULT
2004 Michael Schumacher - FERRARI
2003 Kimi Raikkonen - McLAREN
2002 Ralf Schumacher - WILLIAMS

Yeah, but I was only choosing to highlight the previous ten winners, lest the list became tediously long.
