F1 Poem – Malaysian Grand Prix Rewind
Well F1 fans, were in for a treat
The Malaysian Grand Prix, was less than discreet
Let’s go back to the start, when the lights went out
And cars slipped and slid, as they weaved about
The track was slippery and rather wet
Pirelli Inters were, the safest bet
It was four cars a breast, as they launched off the line
At the end of lap one, Alonso’s wing was not fine
It dangled and dipped and then just as expected
It got stuck under the car, when it became disconnected
Out came the slicks, as the track became dry
But there was pit lane drama, as pit stops went awry
Force India had, a day to forget
Their troubled nuts, were their biggest regret
Button had issues, with one of his nuts
Driving off with three wheels, surely took guts
Hamilton’s error, wasn’t quite as extreme
He just stopped by to say hi, to his old team
The rest of the race, wasn’t quite as exciting
But drama unfolded, with some inner team fighting
Near the end of the race, two bulls were ahead
Followed by the Mercedes, by a 12 second spread
Team orders in play, there was absolutely no doubt
But that’s not how it happened, to play itself out
The call from pit wall, was “Multi 21”
That’s Red Bulls code, for “This race is done”
I guess Vettel did not get, the radio transmission
He misunderstood, by his own admission
Vettel passed Webber, as Mark was just cruising
He was a sitting duck, which was rather confusing
Meanwhile at Mercedes, Nico was quicker
Stuck behind Lewis, he was told not to bicker
On the podium, it was a sad sorry sight
It was quite obvious, something just wasn’t right
The drivers were sombre, as they went through the drill
Vettel might have been dead, if Mark’s looks could kill
No storybook ending for the Malaysian Grand Prix
More drama to follow, in F1’s round number three
