yeh apoligies for what i thought was an iffy coverage. I had an issue i couldnt fix so i ran with it meaning i was a bit handcuffed to the start finish line for most of it.
I'm pleased with eight really 
If we can stick with or just close to Maverick we would still be in a very strong position in the championsip.

awesome pole hopefully i can win the race gotta keep an eye on vukcevic though :P
gotta keep an eye on vukcevic though :PWell, under normal circumstances I'd be disappointed with 7th, but in this case it's simply a good thing that none of my direct rivals could use his chance but in contrary all start behind me. So, basically, I simply need to hold all of them behind me!

Welcome back to Malaysia and race day here with a gripping climax building for the championship. Championship leader Maverick came out in qualifying and managed to stay ahead of his main rivals from 7th place. Ward and Zakes battled out for pole with Ward winning but who is going to take the chequered flag. Lets head down to the start
And they are off with Zakes getting off to a blinder
He leads into the first corner
Copeman another who had a great start
He is up to 7th forcing Maverick onto the outside line
Maverick still trying to hold onto the position around the outside but to no avail
Tafuro has had a sluggish start in comparison to his rivals
Maverick has run wide into turn 4 but Carreiro is too far away to make a move
Stein and Heart have collided though seeing Stein run out onto the gravel
Heart drops a few places after the coming together
Urazel bumps into Vukcevic who bumps into Hunsley but no trouble coming from it
De Boer has the slipstream and is trying to pass up the inside of Ward into the hairpin
And succeeds forcing Ward wide and a good clean overtake by De Boer
Ward is not giving in just yet since both are slow out of the corner and retakes the place into turn 1
Standings after the first lap
De Boer wanting to try a pass into the hairpin round the back of the circuit but Ward shuts him out
Heart is in the wars again with Paddock this time
Paddock closing the door and Heart had nowhere to go
De Ja Vu between De Boer and Ward as De Boer tries again into the final hairpin
Much more comfortable this time
Just behind Vanthoor cuts off Antunis and it is lucky they did not collide
Ward again retakes second from De Boer down the start finish straight
Jantsher capitalises on the near miss by passing Antunis into turn 1 as well
Maverick has completely missed the braking point and run into the gravel trap
De Boer has outbraked Ward and parked himself on the inside of Ward
Ward stays defiant and uses the speed taken from an outside line to hold the place
Carreiro has suffered a suspension problem and that is the end of his race
Maverick has not moved from the gravel trap and it turns out he has suffered transmission problems and also retires
After passing Antunis, Jantsher makes quick work of Vanthoor on the same lap
Yoshimoto locks up trying not to run into the back of Vukcevic
Hunsley has run off the circuit somewhere and is now back in last place
Copeman is still in 7th but is close enough to Antunis to see him taking a defensive line
Urazel now looking to find a way around Yoshimoto
Oh Copeman has bumped Antunis
They both lock up
And they are both off the track but Copeman can easily continue
Antunis on the other hand is in the gravel
Urazel is ignoring the yellow flags and is trying to pass Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto clearly was not expecting this he has completely cut off Urazel
His car is sideways!
And demolished it is amazing they missed Antunis
Both Urazel and Antunis return at the back of the field, minus a wing for Urazel with Yoshimoto being the third retirement today
All the debris has picked up a casualty
Both Tafuro and Urazel safely make it back to the pits
Jantsher joins the De Boer – Ward battle
Jantsher showing no patience today, is immediately trying De Boer and I do not think he could be any closer
Standings after just 6 laps
Up the hill and De Boer outbrakes Ward
And is up safely on the inside
Both men showing us how racing should be done today
The gap to Zakes for De Boer has opened up significantly already can he make inroads
Time for a break
And they are off with Zakes getting off to a blinder
He leads into the first corner
Copeman another who had a great start
He is up to 7th forcing Maverick onto the outside line
Maverick still trying to hold onto the position around the outside but to no avail

The gap to Zakes for De Boer has opened up significantly already can he make inroads
Time for a break
Welcome back to Part 2 of the Malaysian GP
We rejoin with Hunsley trying to make his way back through the field
Only a second between Vanthoor and Jantsher and the 3rd place battle
The gap however from Oakley to Copeman for the last point place is not threatening for the American
De Boer not making progress yet now he has found clear air
Jantsher using the slip stream to try on the inside of Ward into turn 1
And succeeds and moves into third place
Less than a second between Copeman and Vukcevic
Heart all over the back of Paddock again but this time they do not touch
Antunis alongside Stein into turn 4
Still alongside but Stein has the inside line into the chicane
Somewhere off camera Ward has run wide and is all the way down into 8th
Bit bullish by Antunis who has used his car as a ram to take the position from Stein
4th – 7th in one shot with plenty of racing left
Vukcevic tries a lunge on Xanthis, maybe he is feeling the heat from Copeman
And he should be that lunge has left him in Copeman’s clutches
He duly takes advantage
Vukcevic is not giving up yet
He will not find a way round the outside as Copeman just closes the gap
Standings after 18 laps
Time for the first scheduled stops and De Boer is first to blink
Followed by Jantsher from 3rd
Xanthis and Copeman come in together and it is a battle of the pitcrews
De Boer returns to the circuit in 5th just ahead of Oakley
And Jantsher in 8th but he is in the process of taking 7th from Razak who is having a quiet day in front of the home crowd
Xanthis and Copeman return in 16th and 17th respectively
Madagascar in the pits from 1st position
Zakes returns to the circuit comfortably ahead of De Boer
Vukcevic and Vanthoor pit together
And both of them come out ahead of Xanthis and Copeman a great stop for Vukcevic there
Ward is still out and yet to pit
Standings with everyone except Ward taking a scheduled stop
Copeman is so very close to Xanthis and will be looking to gain every place he can with Maverick out
Xanthis defending to Copeman, he definitely has got his tyres up to speed quicker
Tafuro and Urazel pit again but for fuel and no missing parts this time
The gap to 8th for Oakley is coming down now
While there is a second and a half between De Boer and Ward who has not pitted
Stein makes the pass on Heart in the last corner
Then makes sure by leaving Heart no room to respond into turn 1
Copeman has made a move stick up the inside on Xanthis in turn 4
This looks familiar De Boer and Ward again into the final hairpin
Again Ward forced wide but this time he has to correct the car and cannot come back at De Boer
Ward finally pits and it looks like a one stop strategy
He returns in 8th position
De Boer must be pushing too hard to catch Zakes as he has run wide through the fast double right hander
Which allows Jantsher to pass him
Vanthoor has Vukcevic all over the rear of his car
Another off camera moment we are sadly having a few of those today where Xanthis has run wide and is all the way down in 17th place
The standings as we are past the half way point
With everything that has happened suddenly Razak is in with a chance of points
Antunis trying to overtake McGregor but that looks a little far out
A warning for McGregor
Which he has not headed as Antunis has a much better run into turn 1
And plants himself on the inside of McGregor
He makes it stick
Zakes has a nice lead on Jantsher and it doesn’t look to be coming down anytime soon
McGregor has run a little wide on the exit of the last corner
Stein has better drive and makes the pass
Time for another break before the last part of the Malaysian GP
We rejoin with Hunsley trying to make his way back through the field
Only a second between Vanthoor and Jantsher and the 3rd place battle
The gap however from Oakley to Copeman for the last point place is not threatening for the American

Time for another break before the last part of the Malaysian GP
Welcome back to the final part of the Malaysian GP
We rejoin with Vukcevic and Vanthoor trying to leave Vukcevic little room
It does not stop Vukcevic getting the apex of the corner though
The tighter line though allows Vanthoor to stay ahead
Vukcevic still looking allthough no one has made a pass into the double right hander today
Hunsley is joining the battle for the last point’s position
Whereas the gap for the last podium spot is growing
Less than half a second for Razak now and the fans are really getting into this
De Boer first to pit again for the scheduled second stop
Oil leak strikes Paddock’s car and he is out of the grand prix
Vukcevic and Vanthoor pit together again as well
Copeman also coming in
De Boer returns in 4th
But bigger news the Montenegrin pit crew have pulled a blinder and Vukcevic has leapfrogged Vanthoor
Copeman rejoins in 10th
Razak has a good pit can he put the laps in to pass Oakley
Zakes pits from the lead
Rejoins 2nd behind the yet to pit Jantsher
Oakley is in the fans are anxious
Sadly for them Oakley has managed to cling onto his position against Razak
Antunis suffers a puncture and that is the end of his race
Copeman trying to get past the slower Horvath
But fails which must be frustrating for the American
Jantsher still yet to pit
The frustration has boiled over into Copeman barging Horvath and taking the place by force
Jantsher finally pits will he keep ahead of De Boer
Zakes retakes the lead
De Boer is on the home straight
He has not done enough as Jantsher has rejoined just ahead of him
The gap to Zakes is substantial and thats to the one stopping Ward
Gap coming down to Ward from Jantsher
Standings with all stops done
Jantsher means business with the fastest lap of the race
The pace shows he is alongside Ward half way up the slope to turn 4
Is there going to be room
Yes Ward gives him the space and Jantsher with more grip takes the position
It is more of Ward and De Boer now as they weave across the track for third place
Into turn 1 though De Boer makes the extra grip count and comfortable overtakes Ward
Only 1.5 seconds between him and Jantsher now
While Razak has two seconds to overturn
Another fastest lap by Jantsher
The gap to Zakes however is not closing
Two seconds between Copeman and Vanthoor which must have Maverick hoping Vanthoor can hold on
The gap between Oakley and Razak appears to be holding
While it is hard for Hunsley to be any closer he will have to shift Razak soon though
Less than a second for Copeman now to Vanthoor but very little time
Hunsley is trying but not quite
Zakes wins!
Jantsher keeps second
And De Boer rounds up the podium
Ward finishes 4th but that is not yet subject to a penalty for not pitting twice
Vanthoor holds off Copeman which will keep Maverick happy
Hunsley does at least take Razak on the last corner
More for pride as Oakley takes the last points scoring place
Still a drag race by Hunsley and Razak for 9th place though
Here are your unofficial results
So there we have it a second win this season for Zakes and a very comfortable race for Team Madagascar. As for the championship the gap has closed but Maverick still leads with none of the contenders really able to take advantage of his retirement
We rejoin with Vukcevic and Vanthoor trying to leave Vukcevic little room
It does not stop Vukcevic getting the apex of the corner though
The tighter line though allows Vanthoor to stay ahead

Here are your official standings. William Ward has been given a 20 second penalty which is the length of the pitlane for only making one stop which he gained an advantage from.
Great race for me and still an outside chance with full perfs left to spend of nicking this championship. Its so close its awesome
Crap! Another retirement for Portugal. More points lost and the hope for a better championship position is slowing fading away...

Not bad! Everytime i made mistakes though when in 1st or 2nd ... ah well :D Still 2 to go Still hoping for that first win!
If you are racing, keep on racing and get some points!
