He is rattled and tried to cheat again today. He screwed himself today though. I don't care what Lewis and Nico claim after the press conference - I was on the Sky active with Lewis at the time and he was flat out until Nico blocked him. I guess team orders are to sort these things in the debrief now. Just shows with Nico though, once a cheat, always a cheat. All respect he gained in Abu Dhabi is gone out the window now - cunt!

Interesting that Felipe was .7 faster than VB by in q3. He is not exactly known as a wet track specialist.
Good on Seb, and tough luck for Kimi.
In dry conditions I don't think Ferrari will challenge either Mercedes, they have speed to spare.

Strange qualification session, but not unusual for Malaysia I guess. You just never know what's going to happen with the weather there. But the field is all over the place, which should make for some good racing going on regardless of the weather tomorrow. In a way I appreciate Malaysia for the change, but often it comes down to who go the setup right for the race conditions.
Part of Q2 looked like race action with all those cars trying to get position. I think we we see a lot of positions trading in the race all the way up to maybe positions 4-5.
This does bring up a good question though. Who is the current wet weather master? Lately the wet races have been more changing conditions, but in the pure wet we have a lot of drivers currently in the field that are really good. An all out wet race might be a good change of pace.

It's really difficult to say who's boss on a wet circuit right now. I remember Vettel putting in a few massive performances in the beginning of his career, most notably that Italian GP as well as overtaking a certain Lewis Hamilton in the 2008 Brazilian GP. However, lately he hasn't done anything I'd consider that special.
Then there's also Alonso, who seems to do or die when the track is wet (I remember his back-to-back poles in 2013 and a few great performances, but also a couple of spins and accidents).
And then Lewis is usually considered one of the regenmeisters, although I honestly consider that he doesn't have a *great* wet race like Vettel (Italy '08) and Alonso (Hungary '06) do. (Yeah, I do remember UK '08 but I don't think it belongs with the first two ones). Anyway, there's no doubt that the guy is as mightily fast on a wet surface as he is in the dry.

I remember Alonso (in a Renault) absolutely spanking Schumacher in the wet at Hungaroring a few years back, and no one adapts to changing conditions as quickly as Button. I think this time their cars are going to be the limiting factor though.
In a straight fight in the rain I think it will come down to Hamilton and Vettel.
An all out wet race might be a good change of pace.

Maybe we could see it coming that Manor would miss at least a race, but how about this: Would anyone have believed we could get to Maylasia before Alonso, Botas and Kvat (not to even mention Magnussen) would start a race, or that either of the Lotus turned a complete race lap?
I mean, we are certainly off to a bizarre start.
