Petronas Malaysia Grand Prix 2009.....experience

Finally after 11 years , I finally make my virgin trip to the hottest race on earth at Sepang International Circuit. Previously I would prefer to watch it at the comfort at my home sofa or lepaking at some cafe.

We also witness history of the first race in Sepang that is halted due to torrential rain which the race stewards deem too dangerous for the drivers to continue. Maybe the Tok Pawang didnt do his job well ! Also its the first F1 race that is held in the evening in Malaysia, which proves isnt a good decision afterall . The rain was so heavy that the race had to be red flagged, thanks to visibility which had dropped to near zero. The track had also become totally drenched with water. According to Button himself, “It wasn’t like it was a river out there, it was a lake!”. Hamilton said it was one of the most dangerous conditions he had ever had to race in, and all he could do was try to keep the car on track, don’t even begin to talk about actually racing yet.

Safety car out in the rain.

So it was a massively wet race, one that was made worse by the fact that it was an evening one - unlike previous years where the afternoon sun quickly dries the track. Jenson Button in his Brawn GP F1 car took the top spot again, with second place this time going to Nick Heidheld in BMW. Barrichello who came in second the last race was in 5th place. F1 big names Ferrari and McLaren continues their woes with Kvalainen retiring on the first lap.

In the end, I guess lady luck was on my side as I manage to snap a photo with Button....check this out......
