Formula One - Malaysian GP 2014

I'd blame Massa, but most of the people I've talked to are blaming Perez. I fail to see why.

Me too.... but the way massa was driving he was about to miss his braking line

and perez is been penalised with penalty... 5 grid penalty i guess

I can't understand why Perez got the penalty. I've seen the inboards and he doesn't seem to make any sudden movements, he is perfectly entitles to move to the left slightly. Massa's driving in the last 15 laps was embarrassing, he was taking 1-2 seconds a lap out of the leading pack (ROS,RIC,VET,PER) and he easily had the pace to pass all of them but failed to do it so perhaps he was just getting desperate to get passed PER on that last lap I don't know but I think that penalty for PER was absurd.

Yup... I dono if any appeal was made on it.

Perez certainly impressed. Yeah that first lap by Lewis was sensational! Shame the way the entire weekend went though- he would easily have gotten pole with the lap he was on before the spin and Nico's lead is now 29 points!

All he need to do is pray for nico's DNF atleast 2 of them :)..... Even then the constructors trophy is going to be for Merc

A DNF for Nico would be sweet, it would put Lewis one 1-2 with him being the winner from regaining the WDC lead. But all the luck seems to be going Nico's way- 2 DNFs for Lewis (through no fault of Lewis' ), a mistake at Monoco Q3 that crazily advantages Nico and thus gifts him the win (given this is Monoco), cuts the chicane in Canada gifting him 0.6s whilst under extreme pressure from Lewis yet getting no penalty, almost losing it on his outlap and hitting the wall etc etc Lewis has been almost faultless this season bar 2 successive failures in Q3 pole laps yet is losing the WDC race by race.No doubt Merc have got the 2014 WCC sown up.
 
Not needed i guess.... they are 4 points apart..... another 1 - 2 finish with lewis P1 should be enough
Of course and I am expecting no less in Germany- Lewis has had a tangible speed advantage in the last 3 GPs but for 3 successive mistakes on his part in the 3 Q3 sessions he has been starting off pole and thus couldn't translate these into the wins he would likely have achieved. However, just to put my mind at ease I wouldn't mind another DNF for Nico and 18 points (at least) lost to Lewis as Lewis had lost in Australia/Canada.
