Formula 1 fever is back this season roaring to the 3rd round at Malaysia's Sepang International Circuit. Fans around the world flies their butt to this phenomenal atmosphere to watch this exiting WET - MONSOON race! Recall last year's Sepang GP which made a history for F1? It rained so heavily and blocked the drainage of the circuit and flooded parts of the track ~ Embarrassing Malaysia track designers. When the sky began to cry, cars skidded off the track, overshoot-ed the braking area, multi billion car crashing with each others, stuck in the gravel area, have problem with their tyre selection, spinning on the track and etc etc. Dramas are guaranteed for the Sepang GP! Paying a sum of money to watch such dramas is really worth it! Thumbs up!

Well, this is my first time to give my first step on foot as a photographer into Sepang International Circuit. Was very exiting but not 100% satisfied. If, and only if, Kimi Raikkonen is there, it will be perfect. Those extreme machines nearly break my ear drum and kills my muscles. Stood there shooting for the entire session. Great experience! Whee~

Free Practice: Practice session on Friday did not have major problems. Sky were bright and a few spots of rain spotted after the session. Not much dramas! Lewis Hamilton proudly storm the entire field leading two of the practice sessions. Saturday free practice 3 turns the driver positions upside down where the Red Bull's Mark Webber sprig off with a surprise. Ferraris' admits that they're struggling with the setup of the car.

Qualifying: Rain starts to fall and tracks began to form a layer of ice on top of it. Rain Master "Michael Schumacher" did not even perform well in such conditions. Drivers pull out their phone checking on twitter about the weather forecast. Dramas begun in the first session of Qualifying run where the big boys including Ferrari's (Felipe Massa & Fernando Alonso) McLaren (Lewis Hamilton) did not make it into Qualy 1. Reigning World Champ Jenson Button beached his McLaren onto the gravel track~ Qualy 2, M'sia Lotus team was able to get through and score a well earned P15. Qualy 3 came to a halt when the FIA announced that the condition is too dangerous for drivers to have a clean run. Sebastian Vettel slams the FIA saying that they are like swimming more than racing. Tyre plays an important role in this session whereby intermediate tyres are the suitable ones for such conditions. Congratz to those who start in the front row (M. Webber, N. Rosberg, S. Vettel) Boooo for those big guys who ought to score!

Race: Weather really do play an important role for tomorrow's race. F1 fans, put their hand together to pray for rain. Drivers finger crossed to hope for better weather forecast. edro Delarosa did not even manage to join the race start as his Sauber stalled during the installation lap. When the 5 lights illuminate, the Malaysia Sepang GP is GOO! Rubbens stalled the Williams in the grid and a very good start from Vettel putting the Red Bulls in P1 and P2. Followed by Rosberg and Kubica. The 4 big boys from the back is putting their head down and are driving like crazy. Michael and Fernando blew their cars. A very exiting race after all.
