I'm quite sure we won't have to wait long – McLaren have a poorly understood but very fast car that'll only get faster; Ferrari have a car that tested very fast, and should come to them as they understand what went wrong in Aus.Byronrhys wrote:Let me just say, if there wasn't an RB7 on the grid this season would be so great, the field would be so tight.
Appears it to be the pit straight. Not surprising really as that's usually the bit with the expensive seats and the ticket holders will be annoyed if the overtaking happens elsewhere...CHT wrote:does anyone know where will be the DRS zone at Sepang?

I am guessing that car coming out of the hairpin will be too slow to take advantage of the DRS on the pit straight. Due to the wide track, if the "DRSed driver" try too hard on the inside line with late braking at turn 1, chances car he just might loss his position at turn 2.ringo wrote:what's the tactic for this race now?
Use all the KERS on the back straight to pull away, then cruise and hope for the best on the pit straight?
2 long straights make things interesting tactics wise.
Not really, no – it's slower than a GP2 car.raymondu999 wrote:To be fair F1 is a relative sport. If there's someone faster than you, that means you're slower. HRT in isolation is probably a fast car.
that would be a stupid place, the first corner at malaysia is not a good place to overtake, its a decreasing radius turn which basically forms a tight chicane with turn 2.. stupidhigh-on-octane wrote:Pit Straight.CHT wrote:does anyone know where will be the DRS zone at Sepang?
