For the second time in as many races, Renault proved to be the current car to beat in F1 as Fernando Alonso crowned his Malaysian GP weekend domination with an easy win on Sunday

Great race? The new rules make it worse than Ferrari dominating. Watching guys drive around trying to preserve their tires for 250 KM, woo, exciting. There was some good mid pack passing, and for once the retards running the show actually showed us that, but it just seems so... contrived.

tire rule does blow..
and also, it was ironic that the BAR team retired "early" from last race causing the stewards to change the rules on the one motor rule.....

and then what happens???? they blow the motor...

By looking at some of the tires at the end of the race I'll bet they make a change. Imagine when they get to Spa and the go through eau rouge at WOT on those things!

I don't think the cars have enough grip to fo flat out through eau rouge... at least not more than a few times.

They did last year. Ferrari actually published a plot of Schumacher's laps and he was on it. With the wing changes this year, they may not be able to this year. With worn out tires like Malaysia there is no way.
