A quieter week on Christine's Rankings
In which Malaysia has less of an effect than Australia
Published by Christine Blachford

Malaysia saw some surprises out on track, but the drivers were less vocal and were so busy concentrating on getting a good race, there seemed to be less Christine's Rankings possibilities.
Nevertheless, we still have two new entrants on the list, with our rankings leader extending his grip on the top.
Movements for Week 9
- +2 Karun Chandhok: +2 for making paper aeroplanes with Alonso.
- +1 Lucas di Grassi: +1 for finishing the race!
- +2 Timo Glock: +2 for having a paddling pool.
- +2 Fernando Alonso: +2 for making paper aeroplanes with Chandhok.
- +2 Vitaly Petrov: +2 for putting up a real fight with Lewis when we thought he'd just handed the place across.
- +1 Adrian Sutil: +1 for swimming with sharks.

The drivers now have a bit of downtime before China, but I'll be keeping an eye on Twitter to see what they get up to in their week off. Let me know if you spot anything that deserves to be on the rankings!
