This evening we were supposed to be playing a Spring concert at Grange Moor<\/a>, however, because of the snow, that was cancelled. In fact, I should be there bashing stuff at the back right now.<\/p>\n

The main event of the day has been the Malaysian Grand Prix (my report<\/a>). A fascinating race with lots of interesting events. The main one being Vettel<\/a>‘s win – already being described as controversial\u00a0after defying team orders<\/a> to back off and let Red Bull<\/a> team mate Mark Webber<\/a> take the chequered flag ahead of him. This was in contrast to the Mercedes duo of Lewis Hamilton<\/a> and Nico Rosberg<\/a> who finished third and fourth, crossing the line in close formation 12 seconds behind Vettel. They obeyed orders from their pitwall to hold station.<\/p>\n

Vettel’s first win of the season sent him top of the standings with 40 points to Kimi Raikkonen<\/a>‘s 31. Webber is third overall on 26. Red Bull took the lead in the constructors’ championship from Ferrari after two races (some fabulous graphs here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The rest of the day involved a bit of work, some food shopping, a bit of TV watching. All the usual things a Sunday contains.<\/p>\n
