It was so unfortunate for McLaren. They only manage to get 3rd and 5th placing through Heikki Kovalainen and Lewis Hamilton.

If they were not penalized with 5 grid, where both of them dropped to P8 and P9 from P3 and P4 respectively, I’m sure the 2008 FORMULA 1 PETRONAS MALAYSIAN GRAND PRIX will not be that boring.

I almost fell asleep a few times while watching it on TV.

But not to worry so much… McLaren is still leading in both categories… the Drivers Category and Constructors Category.

Toyota and BMW are also doing well 😀
