Mar.21(Sun) Race(15:00)
第2戦は開幕戦ほどのフェラーリの優位性はなかったが、Ｍ・シューマッハがBSソフトタイヤを生かして勝った。モントーヤは途中まで食い下がったが、Miのソフトタイヤがスティント後半にタレることで勝機を失った。このことを理解するために、今回は第2・第3スティントのタイヤ別平均ラップタイムと、優勝争いする二人のインラップ・アウトラップも詳しく見る。
Although the 2nd game did not have the predominancy of Ferrari like the opening game, M.Schumacher won taking advantage of BS soft tire. Although Montoya held on to the middle, the chance of victory was lost by wearing the soft tire of Mi out in the second half of a stint. In order to understand this, the average lap time by the tire of the 2nd-3rd stint and two persons' in lap out lap which carries out to win argument are also seen in detail this time.

総じて、予選1回目よりも2回目にタイムが悪くなる者が多かった。特にセクター３は11人がダウンし、2人がスピンアウトを喫した。佐藤はセクター２まで55.787秒で来ており、そこまでなら8番手トゥルーリと9番手クルサードを上回っていた。佐藤がターン１３でスピンしたとき、絶望的な気分になったが、アロンソも同じような場所でスピンしたため、多少は救われた様な感じだった。
トゥルーリもセクター３で1回目より0.8秒遅くなった。フィジケラはセクター３で失敗し、またしてもチームメイトのマッサに敗れた。マッサは思わずにやりと笑った。
そのセクター３で0.3秒もタイムを縮めたＭ・シューマッハが圧倒的なポールポジションの座をつかんだ。
Generally, the 2nd time had more persons to whom a time becomes bad than the 1st qualifying. Especially as for the sector 3, 11 persons were downed and two persons suffered spinout. Sato was coming in 55.787 seconds to the sector 2, and had exceeded No. 8 Trulli and No. 9 Coulthard, if it was to there. Since the spin also of Alonso was carried out in the same place although it became a hopeless feeling when Sato did a spin by turn 13, some were the touch which was saved.
Trulli also became late for 0.8 seconds from the 1st time with the sector 3. Fisichella failed in the sector 3, and even if he did, he was beaten by a teammate's Massa. He grinned involuntarily.
M.Schumacher which contracted the time by the sector 3 no less than 0.3 seconds has held the seat of overwhelming pole position.

マレーシアGP予選はＭ・シューマッハが1:33.074で大差のPP（57回目）を獲得。50度近い路面でも強さを示した。これで今シーズンはフェラーリ＆ブリヂストンがどのコースでも圧倒することがわかった。バリチェロはハードタイヤで3番手。
アロンソと琢磨がバックストレート前の難しいコーナーでスピンアウト。トゥルーリも8番手に沈んだ。スタートに優れるルノーが前からいなくなったことで、フェラーリがレースで独走しそうである。ウェバーがバリチェロの前に来たが、おそらくスタートで出遅れるだろう。ミヒャエルには2年連続スタート事故という鬼門の場所だが、障害はなくなった。
モントーヤとライコネンはミヒャエルから1秒近く離された。もはや2004年のタイトルのゆくえは決まってしまったのか。関東では雪が降った日に。
As for the Malaysia GP qualifying, M.Schumacher gains PP (57th) of great difference by 1:33.074. The road surface of about 50 degrees also showed strength. The season found now that Ferrari & Bridgestone overwhelmed every course. Barrichello is No. 3 by the hard tire.
Alonso and Takuma spin out at the difficult corner in front of a back straight. Trulli also sank in No. 8. Ferrari is likely to have its own way in the race by Renault who is excellent in a start having stopped being from a front. Although Webber came before Barrichello, probably it will be late at a start. The obstacle was lost although Michael was the place of an omen called the two year continuation start accident.
Montoya and Raikkonen were separated from Michael about 1 second. Is the whereabouts of the title in 2004 already decided? On the day when it snowed in Kanto Japan.

マイク・ガスコイン（トヨタ）「明らかにブリヂストンタイヤは2,3,4周目にとてもよく機能している。ミシュランは1周目が良いが、その後大きく落ち込む。ライコネンはいいタイムを出したけど、たぶんマクラーレンは落ち込み騒ぎを静めるためにPR走行をしたのさ。わからんがね。フェラーリ・ウィリアムズ・ルノーの間は、言うのは難しい。はっきりしないが、フェラーリ以外に金を賭けるのはとても勇気がいることだよ。」
Mike Gascoyne (Toyota) "Certainly, the Bridgestone tyres seem to work very well on the second, third and fourth lap, while we've got good first lap performance on the Michelin and then quite a big drop-off. Raikkonen's time is obviously good, but maybe McLaren has done a bit of a PR run to try and quieten things down, I don't know. Between Ferrari, Williams and Renault, I think it's difficult to say. It's not clear cut. But you certainly be brave to lay money against Ferrari."

マレーシアGP初日フリー走行は、午前にＭ・シューマッハが1:34.437をマークしてトップに立ち、2番手バリチェロとともにまたもや赤一色になるかと思われた。ところが温度が上がった午後にフェラーリ勢はタイムが上がらなかった。開幕戦で散々の出来だったライコネンがＭ・シューマッハのタイムを破る1:34.395でトップに立った。予選は1:33秒台に入る可能性がある。
M.Schumacher marked 1:34.437 on the morning, the Malaysia GP first day practice stoods on a top, and it was thought whether to have become red all with No. 2 Barrichello again. However, a time did not go up the Ferrari vigor in the afternoon which temperature went up. Raikkonen which was the result terrible at the opening game stood on the top by 1:34.395 which breaked the time of M.Schumacher. A qualifying may go into the level of 1:33 seconds.
ミヒャエル・シューマッハ「ウィリアムズは速くて一貫してるね。彼らが良いタイヤを得てルノーを上回ったとしても驚かないよ。オーストラリアで彼らは良いタイヤじゃなかった。でもこのトラックなら来ると思う。」
ルーベンス・バリチェロ「こんな温度になるトラックはヨーロッパにはないね。バレンシアは一番近いけど路面は25度くらいだろう。ここじゃ40度以上だ。バレンシアで一番速いタイヤがここで一番速いとは言えないんだよ。」
ファン・パブロ・モントーヤ「僕らには良いトラックだけど、遅かったり望む速さじゃなかったら、がっかりだよね。さらなる速さを得るには時間がいる。でもここで強くあるべきだ。」
ラルフ・シューマッハ「新しいパーツをテストしてるんだけど時間が足りないんだ。バーレーンは期待できるけど、ここでは基本的にメルボルンと同じパッケージだよ。」
Michael Schumacher "There were stints when Williams was quicker and also consistent. So if they get the tyres right I wouldn't be surprised if they outperformed Renault. In Australia they didn't get the tyres right but they could do at this track."
Rubens Barrichello "There's nowhere in Europe you can get a track with that sort of temperature so Valencia, I guess, was the closest one. We had something like 25 degrees on the asphalt whereas here you can have more than 40. Fastest in Valencia didn't meant it was faster here or good here."
Juan Pablo Montoya "We're on the right track but it's a shame we're not quicker or as quick as we wanted to be. It might take some time to find more pace, but we should be stronger here."
Ralf Schumacher "We tested but we were a bit short of time. For Bahrain we expect something but for here it is basically the same package."
もしフェラーリがマレーシアで1-2なら開幕2戦連続1-2。これは過去に5回ある。
1952（フェラーリ）
1953（フェラーリ）
1981（ウィリアムズ）
1992（ウィリアムズ）
1998（マクラーレン）
開幕2戦連続予選1-2から決勝1-2に絞ると、1952年と1998年だけになる。
1952年のフェラーリは開幕から6戦連続1-2で、最終戦（第7戦）のみ2位が他チームだった。
上の5例のうち、ドライバーズタイトルが他チームに奪われたのは1981だけ。
1958以降のコンストラクターズタイトルでは、1981,92,98の3例とも開幕2戦連続1-2のチームが獲っている。
If Ferrari is 1-2 in Malaysia, it is the opening 2 game 1-2 continuation. There are five times in the past.
1952 (Ferrari)
1953 (Ferrari)
1981 (Williams)
1992 (Williams)
1998 (McLaren)
If it extracts from the opening 2 game continuation qualifying 1-2 to race 1-2, only 1952 and 1998.
Ferrari in 1952 was the six game 1-2 continuation from opening, and the 2nd place only of the final game (the 7th game) was other teams.
Only for 1981, it is that the drivers title was taken by other team among five upper examples.
In constructors title after 1958, the team of the opening 2 game 1-2 continuation has gained three examples of 1981, 92, and 98.
雨が多そうで、そうでもない。2001年のレースが途中でにわか雨になったぐらいである。高温でミシュランが巻き返しをはかりたい所。高速コーナーが多く、燃料搭載量の影響を受けやすい。
セクター１
第一コーナーから第二コーナーにかけての低速セクションは、事故が多いところだ。ミヒャエルは2年連続で1周目に接触事故をおこした。佐藤琢磨は2002年にチームメイトのフィジケラに追突してしまった。ここはそれほどタイム差が出にくい。
セクター２
高速コーナーが多く、各マシンの旋回性能がつかめる。2003年はフェラーリが速かったが、2002年はウィリアムズが速かった。ブリヂストンが高速コーナーにも強いかどうかを判断できる。
セクター３
ストレートが2本あるが、2003年に速かったのはルノーだった。ポイントは裏ストレート前の中速−低速コーナーだ。ここでマシンが決まればストレートの初速を高められる。
It is likely to be rainy and that is not right, either. As for it, the race in 2001 began sudden to rain on the way. The place where a Michelin wants to aim at a comeback at high temperature. There are many high-speed corners and they tend to be influenced of the amount of fuel loading.
Sector 1
The low-speed section which lasts to the second corner from the first corner is a place with much accident. Michael caused the minor collision to the 1st round for two consecutive years. Takuma Sato has clashed against Fisichella, a teammate, from behind in 2002. A time difference so seldom comes here.
Sector 2
There are many high-speed corners and the revolution performance of each machine can be held. Williams of 2002 was quick although Ferrari of 2003 was quick. It can judge whether Bridgestone is strong also at a high-speed corner.
Sector 3
Although there were two straights, it was Renault that was quick in 2003. A point is an medium-low-speed corner in front of a back straight. If a machine is set good here, straight initial velocity will be raised.
