David Coulthard's Malaysian Grand Prix preview
Grand prix winner David Coulthard isn't convinced that Melbourne painted a clear picture of what's to come in F1 this season, and doesn't think the hot and humid conditions in Malaysia will make things any more straightforward
Melbourne didn't answer many of our pre-season questions, but what it did give us was the kind of trailer that makes you want to run down to the cinema to see the latest Hollywood blockbuster, because it draws you in but doesn't reveal whodunnit.
I don't really think we'll see the full picture until we've had three or four races. Melbourne, after all, is a very particular circuit. It's semi-permanent, takes a lot of rubbering-in over the weekend and is a track that needs to be driven 'on the front end'.
