I would be very amused if Massa turned up with a couple of black eyes. 
I'll be interested to see how the new-look, actually-perhaps-a-bit-difficult-to-drive cars manage on a different type of circuit. I think this weekend might be more of a marker of just how different things are going to be this season without driver aids and we'll see how much of the chaos in Australia was down to the track conditions and how much was down to the drivers struggling to adapt. That, of course, is assuming it's dry. Which it might not be. Bring it on.

Even if its dry it might still be interesting with all those high speed corners.
Dry or wet, it will be good to see how the cars and tyres last.
Does anyone know what spec Bridgestone are taking to Sepang?
As a total guess I would say it was the medium and hard compound, though I dont know for sure.

Even if DC has found Massa he will still have a few colours left
I read that Sepang has been resurfaced since last year so tyre wear and grip levels will be different to previous years

That three week gap between the first two races last year was cruel for us viewers/spectators. I'm raring to watch another Grand Prix.

Interestingly Sunday is homologation day so another engine failure could have long term implications for Ferrari

Rumour has it that Mark Gene was seen helping DC to kick the **** out of Massa.
