Sebastian Vettel defied recent history to lead the Malaysian grand prix from start to finish. There was a little more drama than in Melbourne but no serious incidents. In terms of the big boys, Webber suffered due to having no KERS although Vettel also had the same problem later on in the race. Alonso also contacted Hamilton whilst trying to overtake him late on which resulted in Alonso damaging his front wing and Hamilton damagaing his rear tyre, this affected both of their positions.
The big winners were Renault as they got a second podium in two races, but only one did finish. There were six retirements during the race the first of which was Williams' Pastor Maldonado after he couldn't continue after sustaining damage after four laps. Karthikeyan's first race for five years ended prematurely for Hispania with his teammate Liuzzi retiring later on. Williams also failed to have either driver finish when Barrichello retired due to being so far behind after early damage. Trulli for Lotus, D'Ambrosio for Virgin and Perez for Sauber also retired before Petrov somehow managed to pull the steering loose before careering into the gravel.
