Sepang Malaysian GP

The annual Formula 1 GP at Sepang has ended and the results were not what I wished for. This circuit is one of the most challenging ones, due to the weather's humidity and different applicable pitstop strategies. My fav driver, Kimi from McLaren Mercedes, was forced to retired without even finishing the first lap. He has been a speedy driver, without luck for most of 2005 and now even in 2006. It was the fault of the Red Bull racing team Christian Klien, who drank too much Red Bull to brush poor Kimi's car off the track. Nonetheless, Renault has proven to be a strong team right from the start. What is their formula for stability in a car? I seldom witnessed their cars having mechanical failure. Michael Schumacher had his hands full trying to overtake his own team mate from Ferrari. But, I know from past yrs that the McLaren Mercedes team will be stronger after the first few races.

Results:
1st - Giancarlo Fisichella (Renault)
2nd - Fernando Alonso (Renault)
3rd - Jenson Button (Honda)

There is some dispute going on about Ferrari's front wing having illegal modification. Dunno how it affects the scoring.
