Vettel lost his podium for breaking the rule he himself was all the time crying about they should have 

 

Vettel is developing into the Alonso of 10 years back: an insane asshole with psychatric problems. Hopefully he calms down with years, at least losing his podium was justice  

 

So in the end, we've got this:

 

Ricciardo from 5 to 4 to 3

Verstappen from 3 to 5 to 4

Vettel from 4 to 3 to 5

Let them race F1  F the safety car bs..

When will Vettel finally retire? He is apparently too afraid to even drive nowadays, let him just play a PlayStation game or something.. 

 

Come on. It's rain and it's not even that much, relatively speaking. 

 

By the way, beautiful overtaking move from Verstappen on Vettel in turn 1, followed by being just incredibly much faster than any non-Mercedes out there 

 

And nice 360 for Perez

Race control (and Vettel), what a bunch of pants-shitting idiots 

[heywoodu 14,942]

Holy shit. Verstappen screwing up the race with the tyre stuff...coming out of the pit in 16th (!) at lap 55...overtaking 13 cars in the remaining laps and finishing 3rd, what the hell

Alonso: "One day someone will have to hit Vettel to teach him that it's not just his track" 

Well said Fernando

Malaysia will no longer host Formula One races after the current deal at the Sepang International Circuit ends in 2018.The race has been a regular on the F1 calendar since its debut in 1999, but dwindling ticket sales and viewing figures have seen the event's place come under pressure. And Malaysia's tourism and culture minister Nazri Abdul Aziz confirmed the agreement will come to an end as the race is "no longer" attractive.

Meh, one of the few new tracks that are actually quite nice. I guess motorcycling works a lot better in Malaysia than car racing, seeing as in Moto3/2 and the other classes they actually have very talented drivers (basically thanks to the existence of Sepang).

That's it for Button's career, just like for example David Coulthard he couldn't finish his last race...goodbye Jenson
