MALAYSIAN GRAND PRIX - FP1 & 2

We wait our heads off for F1 to return and we get 2 races for the wait for (at least) 1! Back to back races, and 2 very contrasting venues. Its round 2 of the World Championship - Malaysia.
Its arguably the hottest grand prix of the year and to top off that sundae, 3 out of the last 4 Malaysian Grands Prix have been wet throughout the weekend, which means its also wet almost every time!

The race in Australia last Sunday, threw some light on the pace of the  teams and nature of the new Pirelli compounds. By the vision of my naked eye and statistics given by the nice hearted media, tells me that the most balanced car on the grid as of now,after 1 very improper race, is the Lotus. By if we're talking qualifying or a single lap run, then it has got to be the RedBull. Wait, aren't we missing something? Yes, the Ferrari! The F138 is somewhat similar to the Blackberry Z10. What Blackberry have done is, put together a hydrid of an iPhone, a galaxy and an awful looking box tablet to create the Z10. And thats exactly what Ferrari have done, its got very good race pace, and a decent qualifying pace, so it makes it equivalent to a RedLotus!
But keep in mind, Melbourne is not a race track, so what I may have inferred from there might change this weekend.

So, FP1 & PF2 were completed today.

FP1 -
1
Mark WebberRed Bull Racing-Renault1:36.935
2
Kimi RäikkönenLotus Renault1:37.003

3
Sebastian VettelRed Bull Racing-Renault1:37.104


FP2- 

1
Kimi RäikkönenLotus-Renault1:36.569
2
Sebastian VettelRed Bull Racing-Renault1:36.588

3
Felipe MassaFerrari1:36.661


This year's championship is going to be decided, not on who's fast and who has more downforce or who has more experience. Its going to be decided on the tyre gamble and choices that the teams make during the weekend and the race, and with that, hope that one team called Lotus doesnt run away with the championship tip toeing, like I mentioned, teams need to be gentle on tyres because the deg rate is high and if tiptoeing like twinkletoes helps, then voila!

WHY DON’T WOMEN RACE IN F1?

Image
There are 7 billion people in this world, and there just 22 grand prix drivers. Out of the 22, there isn’t one female racing driver. This does make you think, why aren't there any women Formula One racers? Sexism in motorsport is not new, in fact, it’s it is as old as the sport itself. In a male dominated field of sport such as racing, women, as a group haven’t made their mark yet. And in F1, there has been just one female racing driver to have scored a single point - Lella Lombardi, an Italian racer who raced for March-Ford in 1974 – 75, scored half a point after finishing a good 7 th position at the Spanish Grand Prix of 1975.  Though the breakthrough for a woman was first given to Maria Teresa de Filippis way back in 1958, she failed to impress as much as Lomardi did. But yet, Maria, the former Maserati driver will be remembered as a pioneer for women in motorsport because of her courage and strength to venture into a sport like Formula One in the age when women were tra

Jerez Testing

Author's note : Its a bit too late to post an article on Jerez tests, when the second test at Barcelona has already begun, but I think that's okay. And just to hint you: Jerez is pronounced 'Hur-ez', just a note cause I kept pronouncing it the wrong way (until I saw Ted Kravitz, from Sky F1 do the correct pronunciation) and happened to get embarrassed when I had to use that word in front of a crowd. Jerez Testing The first pre season testing just finished. And just like last year, Lotus, Ferrari, RedBull Racing, McLaren and Mercedes looked pretty good. In fact, include the Force India and the sauber who looked to be contending for the top 3 lap times. So, what exactly did happen the last time when many cars looked pretty quick? Oh yea, 7 different winners in 7 races from 5 different teams. There's nothing that stops it from happening again.. A few conclusions that can be taken out of this first test.  Firstly, this isn't the first time Mer

2013 Pirelli Spanish Grand Prix – Lessons we learnt during the weekend

Image
Back to where it all began.. Catalunya. The difference, though, is now we’re going to see racing here. It’s said that the Spanish Grand Prix is where the ‘real season’ starts, because that’s where all the major changes happen, like the upgrades brought in by the teams. But this year, it was an awful lot different. Coming to Catalunya was like the second start to the season. Pirelli, who have been under constant pressure and criticism from RedBull Racing and few other teams, finally decided to make amendments to the hard compound tires, hoping to make it similar to last year’s hard compound. And since Formula One is no more than tyre management now, it looked like a positive step from Pirelli to promote more racing. And the fans loved it! Practice 1 was disrupted by heavy rains and to no surprise, many of the drivers didn’t run. And those who did, unable to hold in the impatience, ran on wet or intermediate tires. The rain did not give any break to the Hard compound
