There seemed to be Finnish drivers wherever you looked at Sepang this weekend. As Kimi Raikkonen and Heikki Kovalainen duked it out on the track, fellow former racing Finns Mika Hakkinen and Mika Salo put in appearances in the paddock.

The former is, of course, the official Johnny Walker representative for McLaren sponsor Diageo, and was here on Friday in his role to help encourage responsible drinking, while the latter is doing commentary for Finnish television.

Also seen in the Kuala Lumpur paddock was superstar Malaysian-born actress Michelle Yeoh, with partner and Ferrari chief Jean Todt, and Vijay Malik, the boss of the Kingfisher beer company.
