Can anyone challenge the Mercedes-Benz AMG drivers?
It might get wet.

If it gets wet we'll see all these crybabies complaining that the cars are undrivable, and we'll have red flags everytime a coffee cup is spilled in the paddocks.
Hope it stays dry (hate to say this though and feels awkward when in the past I was always wishing for rain)

Melbourne quals were wet and we didn't see anything of the kind...on the contrary - it was great.

well, if i go by the BBC forecast there could be thunder showers around, hopefully the showers miss Sepang and we get an uninterputted race

I'm sure there will be rain again to get in the way of Merc domination. That's just how it goes in F1.

Setting low expectations for Friday, so I will be happy if the PR people manage to keep Kamui quiet. Who cares about cars going around!

Three and a half hour until FP1, I think I'll stay awake until that. I'd love to see someone challenge the Mercedes PU's, but if not, then meh... At least we have 04 teams running them.

Chance of rain, 60% every day. However, every time I look, it is not yet raining. There is "haze".

Sort of feels like the start of the season all over again after the 2 week break after an uninspiring Australia

I don't imagine the weather predictions in Malaysia are any more accurate, than they are here in ski country. At 7:00 A.M. the forecast was wet snow (mixed with rain) in the morning, changing to rain in the afternoon. What we got was sun, followed by more sun. Glad I paid no attention to the forecast and went skiing anyway.

Sounds like they have turned up the microphones around the circuit because the cars sound very loud now.

Have yet to hear onboard yet to see if they have adjusted anything there either. Ambient mics are much better already.

Maybe not just from the new parts, but better integration with the rest of the car.

Ahh the good times where cars compete for the least ugly. Where are the times of "she's beautiful and she's fast"...
