Recenta etapa Formula 1 de la Sepang a fost destul de controversata prin miscarile dictate de echipele castigatoare. Sebastian Vettel a castigat la Sepang dupa ce a avut un duel aprins cu coechipierul sau, Mark Webber.
de cursa, Webber a declarat: “La ultima oprire la boxe mi s-a transmis ca aceasta cursa s-a terminat pentru mine. Am lasat-o mai moale si Vettel m-a depasit”.
O alta controversa s-a iscat la echipa Mercedes. Pilotii echipei s-au luptat pentru pozitia a treia. In ultimele zece tururi Hamilton a avut o serie de probleme cu pneurile. In spatele sau se afla coechipierul Rosberg care nu a fost lasat sa treaca. Cei de la Mercedes i-au transmis lui Rosberg sa ramana unde este si sa nu incerce sa il depaseasca pe Hamilton.
Cat despre Alonso, acesta a avut parte de un ghinion imens. In momentul startului acesta si-a avariat aripa fata dupa ce l-a lovit pe Vettel. El a fost nevoit sa abandoneze in turul doi, refuzand sa intre la boxe pentru a schimba componenta problema.
Am avut o cursa interesanta, plina de controverse si interese dictate de echipele castigatoare. Avand in vedere aceste lucruri, sezonul 2013 se anunta unul interesant.
