This doesn't bode too well for the others.. :s

Q: And after that quite a lonely race, really?
KR: Yeah. For sure we could have gone much faster if we had pushed but we had already turned the engines down before the first pit stop, after the first laps, so it was quite easy for us.
Not the most exciting race but Kimi Raikkonen deserves his victory. Massa seemed to lose heart after Raikkonen passed him. Kubica drove consistently well to a good second place and Kovalainen was good value for his third place. I think Jarno Trulli had the best race, I was expecting the Toyota to plummet backwards through the field as is usual but he kept it up there and got a very good fourth place. Lewis Hamilton had a poor race. His start was good but after the pitstop and tyre choice cost him a chance of third place.
A part from Trulli, Kimi's race was perfect, Kubica did a great job and earned a deserved 2nd place :up:
It was very interesting that, although he was in front of Lewis, Mark Webber knew who he was racing against and kept asking where Alonso was.
Clearly, Alonso was a little faster, but Mark held on for the extra point. Although Sepang is seemingly a very wide track, in reality, there is very little chance of overtaking.
ITV get f$#$#d
if lewis is the golden boy itv make him out to be why could he not just pass Mark Webber. itv said maney times that being stuck behind mark ruined lewis's race.
i think mclaren ruined lewis's race.
I was disappointed by the way Hamilton was unable to pass anyone after the initial lap, I was expecting a lot when he made such a good start making up on the lost qualifying positions.Quote:

How come nobody has mentioned Massa squeezing Kimi to the wall at the start? Perhaps his off was a bit of justice?
