I don't mind the finger. It's the repeated use of "THAT's what I'm talking about, good job boys, woo woo" that gets trotted out when he gets pole/wins. It's pretty much exactly the dame phrase every time. Ok fine, English is not his first language but he knows enough to try something different. THe woos woos were pretty weak today too.

Anyway. If Hamilton doesn't get ahead of him at the first corner then I reckon the RB's are going to sail off into the distance after the first pitstops.

Vettel added the 'we are who we are' speech last time and no one understood what he said, can't blame him for sticking to the script this time.

Yep agreed gets a bit boring listening to the same pole position speech, something like "Get In !! Eat that Mclaren!!" would have been more appropriate.

Morning everyone, looks nice and grey over in Malaysia

[Sidewaysbob]

Morning chaps. I see the rain has started to arrive.

[Dudley]

Bloody superb guide by Brundle this.

[Sidewaysbob]

Unless McLaren can get ahead of the Redbulls off the line to control the race, I can't see then being about to stay with the Redbulls on the long runs.

[Sidewaysbob]

That's a big blue lump of rain isn't it

[Sidewaysbob]

How many laps are the HRTs going to do then ... less than 10 ?

[Dudley]

Recommending the Andrew Marr show viewers stay got me thinking.

Man there's a lot to explain in F1 now.... DRS.... KERS.... "Option tyres"....

[CouldBeWorse]

Go Renault!

[Sidewaysbob]

Where did those Renaults come from

[JPR]

Heidfeld, great start

[Dudley]

Evil Lotus aren't short of a bit of pace are they?

[DarthSquirrel]

That was like the Alonso Championship winning Renault starts of old. Excellent stuff. Especially after the hour build up suggested it was a 4 car race.

[JPR]

A great start to the race.

[Dudley]

Webber's struggling to hold off the baby bulls.

[JohnC]

What's the story with defending your position? Vettel seemed to be doing a fair bit of weaving at the start holding up Hamilton, then allowed the Renaults to come from nowhere.

[Halo]

Vettel creating a huge lead already.

I don't know if it's in the rules but they seem to consider anything fair game on the run to corner 1, even moves they would penalise later.

[CouldBeWorse]

Get it together Petrov

[Dudley]

Neatly demoing why Evil Lotus wanted to get at least one experienced chap in.

[Halo]

So Mercedes think rain is coming, Red Bull don't...

[JPR]

RBR: No rain this race, Merc: rain in 5-10 min.

[Halo]

Hamilton is just behind Heidfeld.

[curium]

...always Webber's car.

[keineboom]

Stop calling him Heidfield Coulthard you twat!

[alex3d]

Hamilton is just behind Heidfeld.

Yeah, mere three seconds...

[the_debaser]

Come on, rain ffs!

[PaulM]

So, can we assume that Vettel's been over to Ferrari and got hold of the plans for the MassaButton from Alonso?

[Dudley]

10 laps in and the HRTs are only half a lap off. No chance of beating the Virgin cars though.
