R2 Malaysian GP Results

Was some very good drives from last night, noticably Dukey coming from 15th to finish 4th top effort, Reaper who's stratergy was spot on with qualifying on primes and managing his heavy fuel load proved the difference early on and a great drive coming from 4th to finish 1st.

Demon who looked to stuggle early on with the fuel load and once it burned of a little started putting down consistent laps and held position from 3rd on the grid to finish 3rd while making it challenging in the redbull car for ovetaking moves and fighting for position.

Both the ferraris showed excellent early pace for a few laps but with the option tyres at the start and heavy fuel loads soon chewed through there tyres and both cars ended up making 3 pit stops, Zabbey showed he has the pace and can see him pushing for podiums through out the season, I was happy with finishing 2nd after qualifying in P1 but also think there is more time to be had and more consistency to be made if Im going to get the first win for the ferrari, some techinical issues with the ferraris wheel(Broken downshift paddle on MS wheel) needs to be sorted but there budjet is not allowing for it at this stage, and the teams sponsors or lack of are not coming to the party with a new one(CSR).

Clarksons who showed the best speed early in the race faced more technical issues in the Mclaren after taking the lead was forced to pull over not once but twice to reset his hydraulics as lost all use of his steering, his upgraded steering wheel package appears to be having issues and with out those type of problems would of been right up the pointy end if not challenging for the win a possible top 3 finish at race end.

Dazza's car was underprepared and lack of preperation(due to sponsor commitments) seen the Mclaren spinning around a few times but had a strong qualifying result with starting on 8th on the grid, the rumour is that this driver is gaining more speed all the time while coming to grips with the car and setup package woud see the Mclaren moving forwards on the points table.

Stondkiwi finishing in 17th after qualifying in 2nd and showing he had the pace to match and challenge for the top position but it proved a difficult race for him and not much has been mentioned by the team or driver on what and why, but alot of red eye in the garage was a possible factor.

While Puttz qualifying in 19th and finishing in 24th is looking for improvements in the cars setup and consitency, while a very fast driver appears to under achieving at this stage and struggling with other drivers noticably the AI in the field, watch this space as in the future this driver is sure to be pushing forward on Leader board.

While many battles unfolded through out the race, stratergys and consistency are the key to achieving strong finishing positions, with good car setups also a major factor that look after tyres and put consitent lap times in, at this stage the Mercedes is showing the way with this and has outright speed in there drivers and cars.

Great night racing once again.

yeah congrats to my team mate rpr cheers for the killer set up that enable despite 10 place grid penalty, getting wrongly pinged for a drive through and back marker taking off my nose cone manage to come back through the pack
