Malaysian GP- Lewis fastest in P1 and P2

Lewis Hamilton flying ahead in P1 and P2 at Sepang, I told you so!!!! My favorite Brit is the obviously the biggest contender for pole position tom. The anthem for the Malaysian GP should be “Feeling hot hot hot” as most of the drivers baked through the first two sessions. I was hoping for rain but not to worry there are still two more days to go and guess what the weather mans screaming – Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain tomorrow and day after!  Let’s discuss how the teams did today in both the Practice sessions in Malaysia.

McLaren

As I predicted Lewis looks stronger than everyone else, he did go a little off track twice but all in all a brilliant performance by him as he topped the time sheets in P1 and P2. My money as always is on Lewis Hamilton for this race.

Button was only ninth fasted in P1 but he improved in P2 and made it to third fastest but Hamilton definitely looks more superior this weekend.

Mercedes

Schumacher continues to look strong, he has definitely got good pace and moved up from fourth in P1 to second in P2. Schumi fans get ready to rejoice coz the German is looking good this season.

Rosberg also had good pace in the other Mercedes and managed a good fourth in P1 and third in P2.

Red Bull

The Red Bull’s continue to look lost, they are not so far away from McLaren in terms of pace but they just look sooooooooooooooooo lost! Vettle went from being second fastest in P1 to tenth fastest in P2. And Webber went from being sixth fastest to seventh. The Bulls are not looking good people! I must say I enjoyed watching Vettle hold a fan for his Mechanic while he worked on his car at the start of P2. You don’t see a double World Champion holding a fan for his mechanic often but this really shows u that these guys are a team.

Ferrari

Assholonso seems to have improved from fifteenth in P1 to sixth in P2 but the Ferrari’s are definitely not strong. Massa continues to be a failure who is going to be out of a contract very soon at this rate. He was thirteenth in P1 and sixteenth in P2.

Lotus

Grosjean continues to impress in the Lotus, he was fifth in P1 and ninth in P2. Hopefully he will have a better race than Australia and really show us what he can do in that Renault. Kimi got a new steering setup this weekend after complaining about the same in Australia. He dropped from seventh in P1 to fifteenth in P2.

Toro Rosso

Ricciardo looked very quick in P2 finishing fifth fastest, his team mate Vergne wasn’t far behind and finished eighth fastest. P1 was not so good for both these drivers as they dint even make it to the top ten.

The rest of the teams dint really put up much of a fight. Kobayashi spent most of P2 in the garage while the mechanics worked on his gearbox issues. Force India, Williams and Sauber all looked ok.  I don’t mean to be rude but obviously HRT, Caterham and Marussia are all competing in their own little race. What are your predictions for P3 and qualifying tomorrow?
