The German expressed his intelligence to the maximum, and the equipment Williams did the own thing after diagramar a shining strategy of a single halting.
“This it was a wonderful day, everything left simply in the perfect form. Of course that I had a little luck and I could take advantage from the incident of the first curve. I feel so much by Juan Pablo as by Michael, but some times the things are thus. Two weeks ago the one was Michael that took advantage from my accident. My car was wonderful to handle, especially after the shutdown of Pits”, commented Ralf Schumacher.
The incidents began more early of the awaited thing during the race. The Arrows Cosworth de Heinz-Harald Frentzen remained unemployed at the time of beginning the race. The car was transferred until boxes, and Frentzen managed to go to track with a lost return.
Not to be less than Australia, the Great Prize of Malaysia also crossed a little while controversial critic and in the first curve. Both main candidates to the triumph, Michael Schumacher and Juan Pablo Montoya, touched themselves to each other. The attitude of Schumacher left much to be desired. In released the German it closed his line abruptly to be placed by the internal side of the track. Montoya, with greater speed, reached to place average car to him in front of the F2001. When arriving at the breaking, Schumacher passed enough dragged to the Williams de Montoya until taking it outside the circuit almost. “In the started one, Michael went completely towards the right side of the track, which was easily predictable, but when both we arrived at the first curve, I gave sufficient space him but it had a little subturn and it touched to me, and that was everything! ”, Montoya said. The champion was imprisoned of his own error, since in the touch that the Colombian offered to him he destroyed his front aileron. Schumacher had to go to boxes to supplant it, whereas Montoya could follow although delayed enough. Minutes later, the pilot of Williams was sanctioned without reason with “stops and follows”, so that according to the commissioners of the race he harmed the champion of the world. A shameful decision. “This was an exciting race, and my car was reliable and consistent. Perhaps with regard to the accident, Juan could have given more space to me, but he chose not to do it and simply we touched. Thus they are the races. It was only a slight touch, but I had to enter Pits to change the front aileron”, mentioned Schumacher.
Rubens Barrichello and Ralf Schumacher took advantage of the setback initial to be placed in the two first positions. The Brazilian with a strategy of two haltings, began to be distanced noticeably of the Williams de Ralf. This last one decided on a strategy of a single halting, that with the course of the serious race the indicated one to arrive first the flag at pictures.
The incidents continued taking place in the squad of back. Takuma Sato took to its companion Giancar it Fisichella ahead. Both Jordan `s was damaged and the pilots went to box for repáralos. The maneuver of Sato is difficult to understand, Japanese the nontapeworm no necessity to risk so much, and less with its companion and aircraft commander of Jordan. Meanwhile Eddie Jordan struck the head without understanding what happened…
From the bottom, Juan Pablo Montoya began to reclaim the lost land realizing dangerous ambles and imprimiendo an extraordinary rate. Schumacher towards the own thing, but rather more delayed than the Colombian.
On the other hand, the things are complicaban for Pedro of Rosa and Jarno Trulli. The Spanish of Jaguar damaged his tube, whereas Trulli began to lose power in its Renault motor until leaving definitively. Although the luck did not accompany the Italian pilot, for its Button companion, the things they marched far better. The English was placed between the six first with a rendidor single-seater.
Passed twelve returns, Barrichello was the leader followed of Ralf Schumacher, Kimmi Raikkonen, David Coulthard, Nick Heidfeld and Jenson Button. For Coulthard that position would not last much more. Its car began to have mechanical faults and the engineers of McLaren preferred to retire the car of the competition. One thinks that the Mercedes motor was next to break itself. What they did not manage to warn the engineers with Mercedes was the blast of the impeller of Raikkonen some returns later. The Finn marched third party and its motor operated without previous warning, leaving a spectacular plume of white smoke in the circuit of Sepang. This way it concluded another terrible action of McLaren in race. The equipment returned to demonstrate that the trustworthiness of its cars continues being the weakest point. “It is a pain to finish a race in this form since which had a car was able to finish in an important position. Uprooted my it was good in spite of the high propellent charge, since we had planned a strategy of a shutdown, which would have been perfect. Position went in 2ª when suddenly my motor surrendered in the last curve, and that was everything”, ended up saying Kimmi Raikkonen.
To all this, the first big wave of haltings began to follow one another. One paused Nick Heidfeld, Michael Schumacher, Juan Pablo Montoya and Rubens Barrichello. On the other hand, Ralf Schumacher stayed in track with good rate. Just in the middle of race the young German paused to realize his unique halting.
From return to track, Barrichello recovered the first position followed of Ralf Schumacher, Juan Pablo Montoya, Jenson Button and Nick Heidfeld. Michael Schumacher already was sixth and would ascend to fifth after that Heidfeld yielded the position to him.
The Barrichello leader began to demand his Ferrari to the maximum to try to obtain the greater difference with respect to Ralf. One you see that the Brazilian realized his second and last halting, returned to track behind the Williams with intentions to go to look for it. Nevertheless, the motor Ferrari de Barrichello unexpectedly exploded by airs leaving to Brazilian disappointing besides the race. One you see more I am demonstrated that the good strategies and the trustworthiness in Ferrari, are only applied for Michael Schumacher.
With the abandonment of Barrichello, Jenson Button inherited the second position after a shining race. Clear that the English would not resist the harassment of Montoya, that in a pair of return later obtained supéralo. When the English tapeworm podio in its hands, began to have problems in the suspension and the man of Renault were overcome by Michael Schumacher to few meters of the end. “An excellent race for me, in spite of the problem of the end. I handled very consistently, pressing hard throughout the way, even though that the Williams and the Ferraris were evidently more expresses than we”, commented Jenson Button.
The Williams BMW blanquiazul of Schumacher crossed the line of impact adjudging itself the first victory of the season, and fourth of the German in the category. The other Williams de Montoya culminated second after a memorable race. The Schumacher champion completed podio of Malaysia.
The Sauber equipment was able to locate its two cars in the zone of points. Heidfeld finished fifth and the Brazilian Felipe Massa obtained his first point after a race of minor to major. Clear that this last one saw beneficiary by the numerous abandonments. “I am in favor very contented of to have marked to my first point of World-wide Championship in only my second competition of F1. He is wonderful! ”, Massa exclaimed.
Finally and to emphasize the terrible televisación of the Great Malayan Prize. Numerous alternatives of the race were omitted, like the sanction to Montoya, the ambles of the Colombian and Schumacher in their meteoric ascents, and many other things more. Hill to think that in so a well organized race, televisacion has been so bad…
