The season is already shaping up to be a battle between Ferrari and McLaren in the Grand Prix circus heads to Sepang and the Malaysian GP on Easter Sunday (April 4, 2010).

After the tedium of Bahrain is the wheel to wheel racing in changing conditions in Melbourne, which saw the reigning world champion Jenson Button to show their tactical skills by requiring a change of tires at the right time and ahead of the competition when the storm their first win of the season. There was also need for a technical error by the Red Bull driven by Sebastien Vettel, who had pole position, lead to spin off and let the button through.

Unfortunately for tactical excellence McLaren same does not apply to other driver Lewis Hamilton, who was called to change a tire other unnecessary cost him his career never recovered items and frustration finally collided with local driver Mark Webber the second Red Bull on the penultimate lap to take them both down on the ground. Hamilton managed sixth and Webbber, who was forced to pit, dropped to ninth. So there are only two points for Red Bull after the holding of the first row.

Michael Schumacher continued his poor start to the season after the derivation of the first corner forced him to pit and struggled for most of the race to get past Jamie Alguersuari in Toro Rossi. Finally he and I just had a championship point as a reward.

Ferrari was strong again with Fernando Alonso Felipe Massa take third and fourth is to ensure both the constructors and drivers championship. The second race was impressive by Renault, Robert Kubica, who held off the Ferrari Challenge and take second place.

Malaysian Grand Prix
Like Melbourne, tire wear will be critical in Malaysia as high temperatures combined with fast corners. The atmosphere will be missed by the audience will be low, interest in motor racing is not as high in Malaysia. The country also has a weather system that is bright warm sunlight one minute and then torrential rain a few minutes and returned to the sun. This has created havoc in the past and probably will do so again.

Jenson Button won the race from pole position last year.

Lotus and 3CX
As the Lotus team funded by the Malaysian currency, the drivers will be extra keen to do well on Sunday. And the contest will be closely watched in the team’s headquarters in Norfolk, England, thanks to telecommunications 3CX, who have installed their phone system at a technical center and mobile operations racetrack. This means that the race team can contact each other wherever they are on the way to Norfolk. Cars can not win the race yet, but at least have a unified communications system that ensures everyone knows what happens.

The current Malaysian Grand Prix is held at the hyper-modern Sepang International Circuit at Sepang, Malaysia which was first included in the Formula One World Championship in 1999. The 1962-1965 seasons of the original Formula 2 Grand Prix held on the Thomson Road circuit in Singapore is regarded as an earlier precedence of the Malaysian Grand Prix, when Singapore was originally part of the Malaysian federation from 1963 to 1965. After Singapore seceded from the federation in 1965, the Grand Prix continued on until 1973. Between Singapore’s departure from the Malaysian federation and the opening of Sepang Circuit, Malaysia hosted a range of other racing tournaments at Shah Alam’s own circuit between 1968 to 1995, including the Tasman Series (1968-1972), Formula Pacific (1973-1974, 1978-1982), Formula Atlantic (1975), Formula Two (1977) and Formula Holden (1995).

Sepang International Circuit designed by German designer Hermann Tilke, who would subsequently design the new facilities in Shanghai, Bahrain and Turkey. Sepang is one of the most technical circuits in Formula One. The combination of long high-speed straights, and tight twisting complexes make the track very complicated, but also perfect for overtaking as the track itself is very wide. The drivers love it and, along with Malaysia’s distinct atmosphere, it makes for an experience unique in Formula One. The main circuit, normally raced in a clockwise direction, is 5.54 kilometres long, and is noted for its sweeping corners and wide straights. The layout is quite unusual, with a very long back straight separated from the pit straight by just one very tight hairpin. Other configurations of the Sepang circuit can also be used. The north circuit is also raced in a clockwise direction. It is basically the first half of the main circuit. The course turns back towards the pit straight after turn 6 and is 2.71 kilometres long in total. The south circuit is the other half of the racecourse. The back straight of the main circuit becomes the pit straight when the south circuit is in use, and joins onto turn 8 of the main circuit to form a hairpin turn. Also run clockwise, this circuit is 2.61 km in length. Sepang International Circuit also features kart racing and motocross facilities.
