Fernando Alonso won today's Malaysian Grand Prix in the McLaren Mercedes, with his teammate Lewis Hamilton finishing second (improving on his third place finish in Australia three weeks ago), and Kimi Raikkonen finishing third in the Ferrari. Even though Alonso wasn't challenged all that much for the lead during the 56-lap race, the race for second place was certainly entertaining as that was close all race and the positions kept flipping back and forth between Hamilton and Raikkonen. Jenson Button finished twelfth in the Honda. It was a shame that Nico Rosberg in the Williams Toyota had to retire from the race with 13 laps remaining since he was having a solid race and was running sixth at the time of his retirement. Hopefully this season will be pretty entertaining for both the driver's title and the constructor's title since it looks like no one driver has been dominant so far. Now it's off to the Middle East for next week's Grand Prix of Bahrain.
On a sidenote: this race was my 250th as an F1 fan and that's a lot of races considering the fact that there are only 16-18 races per season.
