Malaysia, my home. The race will be held on this Sunday 5th of April 2009. For me, it will be different from last year, I will be stuck in front of the television monitoring all corners on Sepang F1 Circuit. Sadly, I will not joining the crowd on the track this year, its ok at least I will not suffering from sun-burned (sour-grape)
Malaysia GP expecting to be a hot and humid race, apart from the speed, engine reliability is the key to success in the race.
Everyone is expecting Brawn GP to dominate again, I will think so too, but definitely will be a closer, tougher fight compare to Melbourne last weekend.
Renault will be competitive, watch out for Alonso.
I don’t think the big boys (McLaren Mercedes and Ferrari) can do wonders in one week time, but Ferrari should perform better than McLaren team. We will see.
Williams-Toyota and Toyota themselves should continue the great performance last weekend, too bad that crashed at the closing stage of last race.
Red Bull Sebastian Vettel should perform will, but due to the 10-place grid penalty as the incident with Robert Kubica, it will be a tough race for him.
Last but not least, BMW Sauber. This will be home of major sponsor Petronas, and do not forget, last year they collected 11 points in total in this same circuit
The teams running KERS - Ferrari, McLaren, BMW Sauber and Renault - may enjoy more of an advantage here thanks to those long straights, but now that air extraction chimneys have been banned, the heat may prove too challenging for those teams that have marginalised their cooling systems in the interest of aerodynamic efficiency.
Brawn will still be running without KERS, if the car is fast enough to win the race, they can take their time.
Little bit on KERS…
