Who is she? Is she famous for being unfeasibly tall? She looks about 9 foot high.

Yes, I'd say so. Maybe he was lucky with the Kimi screw up, but getting that sack-of-spanners into some decent points is worth a salute.I had to lend my laptop to someone for the race
Driver of the day Alonso?

Okay, that has to be an ambition - to see Claire Williams soaked in Champagne on the podium.
I'd watch that a few times.

I'm told he is an actor
I just googled and it seems Red Bull put a woman on the podium in 2013

Is Malaysia going to fall off F1 calendar
The CEO of the Sepang International Circuit has said the track may drop Formula One having held the Malaysian Grand Prix since 1999. The circuit is discussing the future of the race with Malaysia’s ministry of finance amid concerns over falling ticket sales and record low television viewership. Less than 60% of the available tickets were sold whereas this weekend’s Moto GP event is already sold out despite the championship already being decided. The Sepang circuit underwent a major renovation ahead of this year’s race and last year the race promoters signed a three-year deal with FOM to continue holding the race until 2018.

In other news, Audi are leaving sportscars to focus on Formula E:

Do they not see so much of a future with hybrids then?

I think they've done just about everything there is to do in sportscars. They've massively boosted their brand and gained a huge amount of technical knowledge from it. Their departure is a shame, but it shakes things up at the top level and, as Porsche and Audi are both in the VW group (which also owes massive compensation in a court ruling emissions tests if I remember rightly) that perhaps spending the two racing budgets to have their brands race against each other doesn't appeal to the VW bigwigs.
It'll certainly shake things up in sportscar racing, and maybe that's not necessarily a bad thing.

A great 45 minute documentary by Red Bull TV about the history of the pit-stop, I was smiling from start to finish well worth a watch.
