SEPANG FORMULA 1 2003 C

27 Mar 2003

Toyota (despite big budget) not really up to challenge the main pack yet. Would prefer to see them back in WRC

Schumi catching up .. The Master still ends up with points despite 4 pit stops and pit-lane drive-thru penalty

Jordan back with B&H as main sponsors 

Alonso zooming for first podium finish 

Barrichello chasing Alonso. Barrichello eventually managed to secure 2nd place with Alonso coming 3rd. The giant 'TV' display telecast was a let down as it didn't display vital information such as drivers' positions. I was not really following the race as I don't have access to standings. The announcers (in Silly English and in Malay) didn't help much. But the new rules introduced for 2003 indeed make it worthwhile to follow F1 again. No real favourite this time. Dunno, The Ferarris might bounce back. Afterall, they are still using 2002 cars 

Was seating next to some 6 hard-core Kimi fans from Finland.. Simply could not help rolling and celebrating with them when the Mclaren crosses the finish line. Good weekend and looks forward to next round in 2004.
