Commentary corner
So, some intereting things from the commentary crew during the Malaysian GP: Bob Varsha pointed out that this was Jenson Button's 12th straight points scoring finish, equalling Jim Clark's record amongst English drivers. Varsha also pointed out that this was Button's 13th career podium, breaking Jackie Ickx's record for the most career podiums without a victory.
Something else that was pointed out was the Ferrari front wing, and the fact that it was gaping at high speed,but moe about that in a future post.
Other than that, not too much interesting. There weren't that many funnies either:
Varsha - Good seats huh? (referring to a camera shot of a spectator sat on an incredibly high flag pole!)
Hobbs - Last year Massa retired the trophy for the most places made up on the opening lap
Matchett - Ka-blammo! (talking about Rosberg's engine failure)
Matchett - the car seemed to go faster at the apex of the corner through rocket propulsion (Rosberg's engine again)
Hobbs - Speed and Liuzzi with their de-tuned V10 engines might be the only two left running at the end of the race

If the fonts on this page look blocky and naff, it's probably because you are using Internet Explorer, which currently does not display antialiased (cleartype) fonts consistently when alpha transparency is used. I suggest you upgrade to Safari, Camino, Opera, or Firefox. While you're at it, get a Mac.
