		The last lap retirement of Mika Hakkinen's McLaren at the 2001 Spanish Grand Prix was a subtle reminder of the presence of Murphy's laws in Formula One.
		This was most recently demonstrated at the 2001 Malaysian Grand Prix where precipitation poured with intense furry sending pit lane mechanics scrambling for the most suitable choice of tires for the appalling conditions.
		But because of a common decreasing lead in the final laps of a Grand Prix, we are always quick to conclude that there must be a mechanical problem with the lead car, and of course this usually allows some last minute excitement, providing us with the false hope of an exciting finish.

	Malaysian Grand Prix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		First included in the Formula One World Championship in 1999, the Malaysian Grand Prix is held at the hyper-modern Sepang International Circuit at Sepang, Malaysia, near Kuala Lumpur.
		The seven Malaysian Grands Prix have seen a good deal of action on and off the track, whilst the weather — furnace heat one minute, tropical storm the next — adds extra spice.
		The 2001 event was hit by a heavy rainstorm in the middle of the race which made conditions very difficult.

		THERE were two distinct opinions left by the 2001 Malaysian Grand Prix: either that it was one of the greatest drives by the great driver of his age, or that maybe where there was smoke over the issue of traction control there might be some fire.
		The Malaysian Grand Prix arrived almost too soon for some people, not least the Malaysians themselves.
		Michael was fractionally down over the first sector but gained a quarter of a second through the more wiggly second sector, his car some 10 kp/h down on the Williams through the speed trap.

		The Malaysian Grand Prix, round two of 16, will be the second time this year that the teams, drivers and fans get to see the outcome of all the new rules, including single-car, one-lap qualifying, that have been introduced this year.
		Although he finished fourth in the 2003 Australian Grand Prix, and missed being on the podium for the first time since the Italian Grand Prix in September 2001, Ferrari’s Michael Schumacher is still very optimistic for this season.
		Heading into the 2000 United States Grand Prix, which was the inaugural F1 event to be staged at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Schumacher was two points behind championship leader Mika Hakkinen.

		During the 2001 Malaysian Grand Prix, it took nothing more than the briefest of monsoon storms to turn that perception on its head.
		Ralf Schumacher's Malaysian GP was another travesty of justice.
		Malaysia 2001 wasn't about the sterility of mechanical perfection, nor about the pomp and splendour of corporate showcasing.

		As Michael Schumacher sat in his Ferrari on lap 4 of the Malaysian Grand Prix on Sunday, waiting in the pit lane behind his teammate for a tire change under the monsoon rains, the German driver said he was bored and should have asked for a cup of coffee.

		Absolute genius in the driving and thinking of Michael Schumacher saw the world champion win an incident-packed, rain-interrupted Malaysian Grand Prix with 23 seconds to spare.
		Schumacher's win was a record breaker as he became the first driver of the modern era to win six successive Grands Prix and equalled the five-wins-from-pole run of Albert Ascari and Nigel Mansell.

	Motorsport The Asian Way. Malaysian Formula One Grand Prix (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Even considering the recent impact of staging two Grand Prix inside of five months, crowds of any sort only arrive on race day and much of their number are made up of overseas tourists.
		"Despite staging their first Grand Prix at Johor in 1949, the organisers' are the first to admit that they lack a true motorsport culture in Malaysia.
		From a pure technical point-of-view, The Petronas Malaysian Grand Prix is hard to fault; save perhaps for the lack of toilet facilities for officials, but as Australia's closest overseas Grand Prix, it stands in stark contrast to our own event.

	Grand Prix 2001 - Round 15 - Sepang - Preview
		When Rossi won the first three GPs of 2001 there seemed little doubt that he would go on to take the title, but the style in which he achieved that goal is the stuff of legend.
		In 53 years of Grand Prix racing only one man had previously accomplished this triple, and that was Briton Phil Read, who took ten years to collect the titles during the Sixties and Seventies.
		The Malaysian GP venue is also one of the widest racetracks in the world, putting riders and machines to the test with an excellent variety of corners and high-speed straights.

	rediff.com: sports channel - Team orders haunt Austrian Grand Prix
		Schumacher was handed second place, at the end of a race he has never won in his career, when his Ferrari team mate Rubens Barrichello obeyed orders from sporting director Jean Todt and pulled over on the final corner to let him through.
		The move caused a furore in a country where widespread betting on the race had taken place and where sport is always regarded as a pure contest between individuals, or teams, without any manipulation.
		Ferrari, in 1999, did the same at the Malaysian Grand Prix at Kuala Lumpur where Schumacher, returning from a long lay-off after he had broken a leg, moved over to allow Briton Irvine to win and keep alive his hopes of the drivers' title that year.

		Counting all their grand prix victories, and the single wins of Rubens Barrichello and the late Carlos Pace (Moco), Brazil totals 80 grand prix wins, standing second only to Great Britain in the all-time winners table.
		For this coming Grand Prix, more is expected of de la Rosa, who has done extensive testing with the Jaguar Team and is therefore well acquainted with the car.
		The Spanish Grand Prix should allow an idea of how the different teams have been tackling the many different alternatives at hand so as to achieve an ideal setting for their cars and optimize their overall performance.

	F1 News - Malaysian Grand Prix - FIA Friday Press Conference - 18 March 2005
		If you said that we would come away from there with four points, a week before the Grand Prix, I think we would have said ‘okay, that’s relatively good’.
		There’s certainly been talk of moving towards a two-day Grand Prix event, and I think what we’re seeing in the early part of this year is probably evidence that reinforces that argument, and I think it’s probably a pretty good argument.
		There are lots of other things that could be combined with it: whether we have a test session on the Friday or whatever, but certainly the current Friday is not a terribly exciting event, I don’t think.

		David Coulthard, who briefly led after a series of spinouts and a tropical storm wreaked havoc early in the race, was pushed back to third in his McLaren-Mercedes, confirming the dominance that Ferrari has established over the sport since winning its first driver-constructor's double since 1979 last year.
		Hakkinen, in a McLaren-Mercedes, was the last driver to win a race before Schumacher began his winning streak at the Belgian Grand Prix last year.
		Their finish reversed the results of the season-opening Australian Grand Prix, when Coulthard was second and Barrichello third.

	Technical Preview - Malaysian Grand Prix
		Benetton already had large cooling exits at the rear of their sidepods at the first race and McLaren were another team there with significant cooling ducts.
		But all the teams will be increasing their radiator outlets for the Malaysian race, and expect to see more of cooling chimneys pioneered by McLaren last year appearing on their competitor's cars once again.
		Qualifying will be important once again because the track, despite being one of the widest on the Grand Prix circuit, is not easy to overtake on during the race, so a good place on the grid should convert into a successful race finish - but then there is the question of reliability.

		Most of the teams have stayed out during the gap between the Australian and the Malaysian Grands Prix and this is true for most of the personnel of the Grove-based team, who spent one week on the glamorous island of Langkawi.
		"The Malaysian circuit is one of the most modern of the Formula One calendar not only due to the nature of track itself but also to its great facilities such as the garages and the paddock, which are a true model for all other race tracks.
		Nevertheless the Malaysian Grand Prix is one of the hardest races because of the hot temperatures and the huge humidity and I also find it quite difficult to find the ideal line on this track.

		In the six years of the Malaysian Grand Prix, Schumacher has started from the pole four times; won three times; finished second and third; and set two fastest race laps.
		As before, both cars entered by each team must be presented in the same livery at each Grand Prix, but these requirements do not apply to any third car being run by a team on the first day of practice.
		So that the cars of each team may be easily distinguished from one another, the onboard camera of the first car must now be predominantly fluorescent red, the same camera on the second car must remain as supplied to the team (fl) and the camera on any third car fluorescent yellow.
