Vettel has an awesome canoe. But I reckon it will spring a leak 
*Trying to remember when was the last time a GP was called off from the start*
(I remember it was half race last year... but call off the GP from all together?)

Delayed radio transmission - Brundle made specific mention of this as soon as it was heard.

It was red flagged last year due to torrential rain. The modern cars just don't work in those conditions.

Hope this doesn't happen again this time, enough rain to make things tasty but not too much please!
Go watch the race edit for Malaysia 2009 here - http://www.formula1.com/video/race_edits.html - it is epic

Its been like that for years but last year was the first time I've seen them actively talking themselves out of it. The cars lifting up and aquaplanning has been a feature for years now.
It's another flaw in the testing ban pre-season they have no real knowledge how the car will work in the wet. They should get a few wet weather testing sessions as well to atleast give the newer drivers a chance to see what the car is like in the heavy rain.
This year, most teams had plenty of wet-weather testing. I think Alonso is one of the few (lucky) drivers who had the advantage of almost exclusively testing in the dry. Most of the other drivers were all effected by wet weather and as a result their testing programs were compromised.
With regard to RedBull and their ride height - don't forget that they ran fine in Australia. Vettel was running in 1st place when he crashed out, so I think their car can handle a wet track without any problem.

If there is going to be one thing I miss this year at Malaysia.. it will be the ice-cream man cometh!

If the forecast is heavy rain then I won't hold out much hope for an exciting gp.
Given the pre-season testing they have had this year - they have a rather good idea about how the cars work in the wet.
Wasn't it something like 3 days of dry weather?

Ah ok, I don't follow preseason testing at all tbh. I didn't realise they had run so much in the wet this year. There can be no excuses this weekend then.
