Advantages: Close racing

Disadvantages: No Brits doing well yet.

So round two and its all change with the brilliant Williams guys blowing off Ferrari. A first corner collision was inevitable as two mighty egos rubbed tires at 140mph.Schumacher senior was dumped at the back of the field to recover whilst Pablo was given a spurious ten second pen for causing the confusion.
That seems bizarre as round one saw a spectacular nudge from behind with none of the drivers being reprimanded.

Anyhow Michael was going to let his younger brother have the best of it and quickly ploughed through the field from the back of the grid to top six. The two Maclarens again had a very bad time with both Mercedes engines popping early on.
Looks like Mika Hakkinen got out at the right time with reliability looking bad again this year.It looks like the Williams cars are going to be the main challenger for the pristine red Ferrari?s.

Jenson Button whipped the Bennetton around in great style only to have a chassis failure late on to dent him a podium finish. Schuey junior and his team got the pit stop just right as he powered on to win over team mate Montoya hindered by that earlier stop go.
Michael nicked a very useful third after Jensons last lap problems. Nick Heidfeld dragged his car around for fifth a lap down with Mossa getting the final point. Scotland Alain Mcnish almost nicked a point in his Toyota if Buttons car was terminal.

Malaysian circuit here at Sepang is the newest of the tracks and was purpose built to attract races away from non-tobacco advertising friendly European circuits. Its clear that the way forward for this sport is in countries who will allow fag ads all over the shot, and with Blair saying no more after 2006 it will mean the end of the British Grand Prix for no real reason.
The three-day ticket only policy for three hundred pounds with a seat at my home track is really quite vulgar and two fingers to all the genuine fans.

I think Ecclestone and Max would like to see just corpora
te types they?re with an easy ride in and plenty of parking space. These guys tend to spend a round a grand for a seat and a ride on race day against the old fashioned grass bank picnic bulk of the spectators.
In Sepeng they made no facility for the cheaper fan and everyone was expected to buy a seat. Still im sure Ecclestone can bung Blair another million to get a further exemption on his watch.
