High speeds, high temperatures and high humidity are the ingredients major Malaysian Grand Prix on the international circuit of Seepang. To this is added the high potential of tropical rain which makes the uncertainty is very large at the time of departure. Especially in this year that water has not fallen during the Friday and Saturday so there is a 90% chance for rain during the race and bundle again, perhaps with a red flag as it did in 2009. This year's race ended with a red flag before 75% of the race and handed half points. This year Ferrari made a monumental blunder and placed him Raikonen extreme wet tires when not a drop fell. Kimi melted tires in 3 laps and the Ferrari was a turtle.
blunders in 2010 also because of the rain this time in the qualifying session. The blunder this year was the Ferrari and McLaren, waited last minute to leave to make time in Q1 and during a shower and could not lap times, result: last places on the grid.
The track has a length of 5543 meters with 15 curves and has the largest width of track around the world, 16 meters in some places. The track has long straights which are combined with several high speed corners and low speed hairpins.
is a brake circuit 9 through braking, drivers spend 13% the course of time with the pedal fully depressed. Most braking is currva input of the main straight where it goes from 305km/ha 95km / h in 2.28 seconds at 113 m.
Asphalt is very abrasive which is particularly demanding on the front tires (a mystery is the length of Pirelli), which together with the high temperatures (expected 40 degrees on the asphalt) that affects to tires and engines are the variables that teams must take into account when planning this Grand Prix. Therefore the technical changes in the cars to put more focus on gills and vents. According to Peter
de la Rosa: " The Sepang circuit is one of my favorites. It has great rhythm with lots of flowing curves that remind me a bit to the Circuit de Catalunya. The Malaysian Grand Prix track is extremely demanding in terms of physical pilots especially by moisture and heat. I love driving here! and it is very important to be in top form. For the drivers is by far the hardest race of all the calendar and is also very demanding on the car. I think if you are quick here, I'll be on any track and, as I said earlier, bears some resemblance to Barcelona. Both tracks are very representative of what we encounter throughout the season at other tracks. This means that Malaysia is a good test for the drivers and the cars "
Circuit Malaysia DRS
After days of uncertainty because the FIA \u200b\u200bdid not know whether to change the area of \u200b\u200buse of the DRS and that can be done in two sites, contrarecta main straight and the back of the circuit.
Eventually the system may be used in one place, the main straight. The detection cell will be 207 meters turn 15. The starting point is 5 meters after the exit of turn 15 and can be used for about 800 m. aproximadamnete.
