Malaysia GP - Sepang (Sunday, april 28th, 2013) – Race Report, by Sexy Brigadeiro & pictures by Arek
For ALL the pointers and Championship standings, just take a look below!!!
Bla bla bla... sorry (again) for the huge delay in releasing this report, but... I believe you guys can easily guess why, right?.. A tip: I'm not a juvenil, but I know one...
► Pretty full of action race, both inside the track and also outside of it... BIG 'change' on the fight for the Title... huge crash at the start, banned driver from the server, self abandon from the league... oh, boy, we had it all this weekend!
► Aside the fight for the Title, lau did a great job and 'survived' all the pressure for several laps and took another 25 points to Romania!
► My race was pretty much as... pure shit - almost literally - look:

► Arek is a Garotinho Juvenil - and even if he got a 3rd place here, I have no reason to remove this sentence...
► We had a few penalties for this race as well, but no alterations on the points and tables...
► I had something else to say, but I forgot... Oh, I remembered now: I have nothing else to say!'Checkered flag is out and so am I!'
Arek's Slideshow: (Don't be a juvenil! Watch it in HD (720p) and full screen, pliss!)
MALAYSIA GP FULL RESULTSMalaysia Pics:
PRE-RACE
Arek: Welcome to Malaysia
Sexy: Oh, thank you!
PRE-RACE
Arek: The most characteristic stand of the circuit is full of crazy Malaysian F1 fans hoping to see an awesome race
Sexy: I guess the tickets were a little bit too expensive, because I see a lot of empty seats...
LAP 1
Arek: The grid is full as well. Oh sorry it's not. Few players starting from the pit lane are missing.
Sexy: Damn, someone get me my glasses, pliss!!..
LAP 1
Arek: Here they are. Tomoz, Nicolas Soto and Gatis Stalshans.
Sexy: Grisu, Otti and Jure live through their helmets! BTW, welcome to the league Tomoz, Nico and Gatis!!!
LAP 1
Arek: Joe vs lau in a battle for the lead. Tom McKay tries to defend himself of Denis.
Sexy: Joe is actually fighting for the lead of the Championship and that's why any places he can get are important - especially if he can actually lead and win a race, of course!
LAP 1
Arek: Mess in the first turn. Bober miss his braking point and hit Cueball causing his spin...
Sexy: Oh, boy, here we go...
LAP 1
Arek: A moment later Adrian S Shole loses his rear after a slight touch from BlackFox and spins too pulling Antonio Hreljanovic together with himself.
Sexy: A mess can always be more messy, huh?! BTW, I got 'caught at' Cueball, just like I got 'at' ADI in Fuji.. how lucky am I, huh?!..
LAP 1
Arek: Michal who took an advantage from the previous accident has troubles as well...
Sexy: And that was EXACTLY when I thought I was finally free from all of the mess.. I also thought his car was moving to my left, so I moved to my right to try and avoid him, but.. I was wrong.
LAP 1
Arek: We got a big crash with Michal, Sexy, Marius and Cueball. Bober saves himself going wide on the gravel.
Sexy: Crash?!.. I could swear that was a nuclear bomb or something!!..
LAP 1
Arek: lau takes the lead overtaking Joe in the first chicane. Tom loses places for Sven Denis.
Sexy: That's one of the best spots for overtakes on this track! Lots of action happening there for sure!!
LAP 1
Arek: BlackFox (7th) decided to look for some mushrooms, giving his place to soutie and raikk0
Sexy: Don't make fun of Black! Haven't you heard malaysian mushrooms are the best?!
LAP 1
Arek: Arek overtakes Tom McKay and jumps up to 5th.
Sexy: Arek overtaking someone.. who would've thought?!..
LAP 2
Arek: lau, Joe, Sven, Denis, Arek, Tom, soutie.
Sexy: John, Paul, George, Ringo, Mick, Keith, Ron, Charlie...
LAP 2
Arek: BlackFox, raikk0 and ADI are fighting for the place no. 8.
Sexy: Jah, because all of them love to get 4 points in each race!
LAP 4
Arek: BlackFox loses another place, this time for Adrian who joined the group. Meanwhile ADI and raikk0 are fighting very hard for the 8th position.
Sexy: I wish I could've been there fighting too, but I was waaaaaaaaaay behind, 'forever alone' on track and I missed all the good action (I only got the bad one at the start) - PQP!!..
LAP 5
Arek: Joe overtakes lau and takes the lead but only for a little while...
Sexy: It doesn't matter!!.. GO GO GO, JOEY!!!
LAP 5
Arek: Nicolas Soto (16th) and Tomoz1123.
Sexy: The 'rookies' are having some fun too!!
LAP 6
Arek: The guys are fighting very hard which is a good news for Black who can keep close to them.
Sexy: This is a track where fighting against other guys can REALLY cost you a LOT of time - but also GREAT when you're behind and can reduce a gap for some guys in front of you!
LAP 8
Arek: Sven overtakes Joe and takes the 2nd place! Tom who was pushing on Arek now has to defend himself of soutie.
Sexy: It's always great to see a big group of cars fighting against each other, especially for the very first places or even for the lead!! Nice job, guys!!
LAP 8
Arek: Meanwhile in our second big group the guys are still having fun This time Adrian takes the 8th place. Let's see for how long...
Sexy: I guess Black was just waiting for some shit to happen.. - SMART!!!
LAP 8
Arek: Cueball (14th) and Michal do exactly the same mistake one after another spinning their cars on the tricky curb! I have to say that it looked pretty funny
Sexy: And the judges are showing small signs with the score they got: 9.8, 9.6, 10.0 (by Chuck Norris) and 4.3 (by Kim Jong-un)...
LAP 9
Arek: Denis makes a little mistake going wide in the last turn leading to the backstraight and Arek with Tom feelt his blood straight away!
Sexy: People in Belarus were screaming: RUN, FORREST, RUUUUUUNNN!!!!!!!
LAP 9
Arek: The wounded animal go to the pits for recovery, the hunter decided to follow
Sexy: It's curious that if we look at the Championship Tables, the 'wounded animal' is actually the one HUNTING YOUR LITTLE JUVENIL ASS!!!
LAP 9
Arek: Adrian S Shole comes to the pits as well.
Sexy: He was just missing you guys...
LAP 10
Arek: Denis and Arek left the pits in 10th and 11th place behind Antonio Hreljanovic. A while later Denis makes a very weird mistake spinning his car while dropping gears from 7th to 6th in high speed... (?)
Sexy: He was just trying to make things a little easier for you noobs!!..
LAP 11
Arek: raikk0 (6th) and ADI still racing close to each other.
Sexy: They are BFFs now - aaawwww!!!..
LAP 11
Arek: BlackFox (8th) in the pits.
Sexy: He just went there to get another Heavy Metal album to listen to when back on track.. \m/
LAP 12
Arek: Adrian spins during a fight vs Nicolas Soto (13th). After this we rather won't ever find out if his agresive strategy would let him fight vs ADI and raikk0.
Sexy: Nico was using his Jedi powers on Adrian..
LAP 13
Arek: Bober (14th).
Sexy: Oh, hi, Bober!
LAP 13
Arek: Cueball (11th) in another unforced error...
Sexy: Arek only picks the pics where Cue is making mistakes..
LAP 14
Arek: lau (1st) lost some gap to Sven and Joe. Tom McKay is still being followed by soutie.
Sexy: Jah, but all of the fight in the front pack is still pretty good!
LAP 14
Arek: The group of leaders go to the pits.
Sexy: Pit stop partiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!
LAP 14
Arek: Meanwhile Arek overtakes one stopper raikk0 (6th) taking an advantage of his fresh tyres. After this raikk0 goes to the pits.
Sexy: Overtaking a 1-stopper with fresh tyres is the same as beating a kid and stealing his icecream...
LAP 15
Arek: Sven overtakes lau at the exit of the pit lane!
Sexy: Good job and smart move, Boss!
LAP 15
Arek: But only for a little moment! lau sqeezes himself by the inside of T1 and makes a pass!
Sexy: Even better counter-strike by lau - amazing fight!
LAP 15
Arek: raikk0 rejoins in 10th after his biggest oponent in this race - ADI (who had his pit stop one lap earlier, here followed by BlackFox).
Sexy: I believe he had a good strategy! 1 stop was the best one for this race!
LAP 15
Arek: Arek takes the lead for the first time in the season in a wonderful style! Denis jumps up to 2nd.
Sexy: Wait a minute.. for the 1st time in the whole season?!.. PQP!!.. I took the lead more times than you as well - LOL!! You never get tired of getting your juvenil ass kicked by me, huh?!
LAP 15
Arek: The most controversial moment of the race. Incident between lau and Sven.
Sexy: That was noooot exaaaaactly the most controversial moment of this race, let's be honest, if you know what I mean...
LAP 15
Arek: Ends up badly for Sven who loses his chance for a win after this spin.
Sexy: Well, as I sad before in all the interviews and workshops I gave around the world... Once again, this was the typical incident that could've been avoided by BOTH drivers... Sven 'threw' his car on the corner and expected for lau to give him some room... lau should've given Sven some room (of course), but he didn't, so... Anyway... Hope they both learned a lesson from it: the sky is blue.
LAP 16
Arek: Arek leads, Denis is 2nd, lau is 3rd followed by Joe, Tom and soutie. Sven dropped down to 7th.
Sexy: Well, sad news to you: The 1 stoppers will get you as soon as you go for your 2nd stop - just sayin'..
LAP 16
Arek: lau and Joe right before their contact. Joe could've lost more than 2 places after this crazy atempt.
Sexy: Jah, not the wisest move of the season by Joe, but it's easy to understand how he was feeling and how the places he could get (or even the win) were important to him here, fighting so closely with soutie and Denis for the Title with only 2 races to go.. Still I'm glad Joe was able to stay on track and doing a good race!!
LAP 18
Arek: BlackFox makes a similar mistake as Cueball's and Michal's at the begining but this time raikk0 pays for it...
Sexy: I hope Black can't understand romanian, because I'm sure raikkO said a few 'not so nice' words on his natural language - get the kids out of the living room, pliss!!..
LAP 18
Arek: Denis (2nd) in the pits.
Sexy: And who was it behind him? Marius or Tomoz?
LAP 19
Arek: A fight between Adrian and Bober for 11th place.
Sexy: Nice matchup!
LAP 19
Arek: Arek (1st) in the pits.
Sexy: Don't worry! You'll lead a race again in 16 races from now..
LAP 20
Arek: At the same moment soutie overtakes Tom on the main straight during a battle for the 2nd place...
Sexy: So, here it comes...
LAP 20
Arek: ...just to slow down rapidly right in front of him...
Sexy: So, what did you say about the most controversial moment of the race?!..
LAP 20
Arek: raikk0 vs BlackFox continue their fight. This time raikk0 makes a pass.
Sexy: I hope raikkO can't understand finnish either..
LAP 20
Arek: A small incident between ADI (5th) and Tom who was struggling without his front wing and being a little bit busy doing some other things
Sexy: Like ordering a pizza and driving?!..
LAP 21
Arek: It helped Arek to catch ADI quickly and pass him a moment later making a good use of his fresh tyres.
Sexy: Poor ADI!..
LAP 21
Arek: raikk0 (7th) spins without losing a place.
Sexy: He was just showing off to the fans - good job! They loved you so much they even invited you to take part at the Malaysian Dancing With The Stars - weeeeee!!!
LAP 23
Arek: Cueball vs Tom Mckay for 10th place. A bad consolation for Tom who had a chance for a very good result.
Sexy: I would've gladly switched places with him.. my race was even worse! At least he had the chance to fight for a point..
LAP 24
Arek: BlackFox overtakes Antonio in a fight for the 8th place.
Sexy: Both drivers trying to score as many points as they can on the Championship, because they're pretty close to each other on the Tables!
LAP 25
Arek: Denis has no problems in overtaking ADI (5th) as well.
Sexy: Our Belarus friend is also fighting as hard as he can for the Title, so...
LAP 25
Arek: Tony answers back to Black!
Sexy: The kid has grown!
LAP 25
Arek: But BlackFox dosn't leave it like that! Meanwhile Tom joined them and took his chance overtaking Tony as well!
Sexy: Nice fights near the end of the race and whoever has the best tyre conditions is looking good now!
LAP 25
Arek: Even at the end of the pack we have nice and fair fights. Here one between Michal and Nicolas Soto for the 15th place.
Sexy: The only fight I had in this whole race was against Nico too - no pics of it...
/ban Photographer proposed by Sexy Brigadeiro (ADMIN): PASSED.
LAP 26
Arek: BlackFox spins losing 4 places for Tom, Tony, Cue and Adrian landing on 12th one.
Sexy: That was REALLY unfortunate..
LAP 27
Arek: Arek overtakes Sven and takes the 3rd place!
Sexy: Damn! Sven is even more juvenil than Arek for being overtaking by another juvenil - LMAO!!
LAP 27
Arek: Tom (8th) makes a mistake losing two places for Antonio and Adrian who passed Cueball a while earlier. Less than a half lap later Tom spins in the first chicane and even Cue overtakes him.
Sexy: That's what I would call a 'hard day at work'...
LAP 28 - LAST LAP!
Arek: Great fight between Adrian and Tony lasts till the very end! Tony takes the 7th place!
Sexy: Amazing job, Tony! And congrats to Adrian as well for the nice fight!!
LAP 28 - LAST LAP!
Arek: lau wins the Malaysian GP!
Sexy: VERY well done as well! Especially after getting all of that pressure from Joe and the other guys for lots of laps!!
LAP 28 - LAST LAP!
Arek: Joe McLaggen crosses the finish line as 2nd less than 1s later!
Sexy: Another AMAZING result by Joe, especially regarding the Championship!! By scoring more points than Denis and soutie, he now LEADS the Table and goes to the very last race at Interlagos with an 11 points advantage to Denis, in 2nd - I predict we'll have an AMAZING season finale!!!
LAP 28 - LAST LAP!
Arek: Arek finishes 3rd!
Sexy: Weeeee!!! Congrats to you too, seu juveniiiiiiiiiiiil!!!
