It's the third time the charm, for the 2010 Sepang F1 winner - Sebastian Vettal of Red Bull Racing. He was on pole position in both Sakhir and Albert Park, was was unable to convert them to a podium victory.
Vettel was actually 3rd on the grid, thanks to chaos during qualifying - courtesy of the torrential monsoon rain. This also affected Ferrari's (tangled) strategy which saw both Massa and Alonso to be on the tail end of the grid.
There were not a drop of rain - though the weather was gloomy - the 'bomoh hujan' must be realllyyy...good!
As in any race, there were bound to be controversies. Me think that the move on Petrov is not very sportmanship - but then if is Hamilton after all!

And what a luck to struck Alonso - to be so near but so far.....He had to retire 2 laps before the checkered flag - thanks to engine failure.
Will this put to rest the accusation that Kimi drove like a mad man ?? I mean it's not only the way Kimi drive, but it's very much the relaibility of the engine itself. Yeah, Kimi really gave his all - pushing the car to the max - which at times caused to car to finally gave up - at the very last minute.
Owh..how I miss Kimi....his great driving...his aloofness to the media circus surrounding him....hhmmm.....
On ya, seems that lady luck is yet again missing from the back of our multiple world champion - Schumacer. He did not manage to finish the race. Hey, Nico managed to present Mercedes their first podium of the season! That itself should be a celebration.
But then, this race is about King Vettel.....a toast to our RBR Hero....
