That Honda growl down turn 1 is sick!

by MoneySeat 3/27/2015 2:53:58 AM
Hulkenberg jumps ahead of Button into 12th with his latest lap.

by Nate Saunders 3/27/2015 2:54:16 AM
Alonso now leaps into 12th with his next run, some two tenths quicker than Button's quickest time.

by Nate Saunders 3/27/2015 2:54:54 AM
Hulkenberg complains his downshifts are slow.

by Nate Saunders 3/27/2015 2:55:43 AM
"Help me Honda, help, help me Honda!"

by mfbull 3/27/2015 2:55:50 AM
I just joined the session, Can anyone tell why vettle hasn't put up more laps together ?

by Caffrey 3/27/2015 2:55:52 AM
@Caffrey: We don't know what the issue is yet.

by Nate Saunders 3/27/2015 2:56:01 AM
Or if there is an issue, that is.

by Nate Saunders 3/27/2015 2:56:17 AM
Alonso is getting it!! Car looks pretty stable too..doesn't look like any under or oversteer

by MoneySeat 3/27/2015 2:56:18 AM
@Nate What happened to Ham and Vet?

by SudhakarP 3/27/2015 2:56:36 AM
@SudhakarP: Hamilton stopped on track earlier as a precaution. The team had no telemetry on his car and when he reported a snap at the rear the team advised him to pull over to preserve his race engine.

by Nate Saunders 3/27/2015 2:57:06 AM
Rosberg shaves four tenths off the headline time, dipping it to a 1:30.124. Verstappen jump to fourth, right behind team-mate Sainz. Just two tenths separating the two Toro Rosso rookies.

by Nate Saunders 3/27/2015 2:57:50 AM
For those who asked, Vettel is now out on track.

by Nate Saunders 3/27/2015 2:58:06 AM
Vettel starts his first timed lap of the day.

by Nate Saunders 3/27/2015 2:58:56 AM
Why so many contrasting statement between Alonso & McLaren?

by rockedin123 3/27/2015 2:59:33 AM
@rockedin123: Your guess is as good as mine.

by Nate Saunders 3/27/2015 2:59:41 AM
I'd say Alonso was right about the initial statements not helping the situation - had McLaren waited, assessed the situation and then released a measured statement a day or two later, the whole mess could have been avoided.

by Nate Saunders 3/27/2015 3:00:16 AM
Vettel's first lap puts him sixth, two tenths down on Kimi.

by Nate Saunders 3/27/2015 3:00:44 AM
Maldonado has a bit of a wobble coming out of Turn 9.

by Nate Saunders 3/27/2015 3:01:07 AM
Ricciardo crosses 1.663s down on Rosberg, but it's enough to split the Toro Rosso drivers and go fourth.

by Nate Saunders 3/27/2015 3:02:16 AM
But the differing statements between Alonso & McLaren don't make sense.

by rpr 3/27/2015 3:02:18 AM
@rpr: No, they don't. The stuff about when he was unconscious is what really confused me, as he said he was only out in the ambulance.

by Nate Saunders 3/27/2015 3:02:52 AM
Massa the latest driver to run wide at Turn 9.

by Nate Saunders 3/27/2015 3:03:00 AM
When Alonso speaks you listen..even when he is misleading you...you listen

by MonkeySeat 3/27/2015 3:03:31 AM
what about mclaren timings compared to force india ?

by Varun 3/27/2015 3:03:32 AM
@Varun: At the moment there is a McLaren either side of the two Force Indias. Two tenths covering all four cars.

by Nate Saunders 3/27/2015 3:03:49 AM
Oh boy...speaking of the Pastor, do you think he should have saved that tank slapper in Australia or was he blameless?

by mfbull 3/27/2015 3:04:20 AM
@mfbull: I think he had a rare moment of being completely blameless. Not much you can do about being pitched into the wall like that.

by Nate Saunders 3/27/2015 3:04:37 AM
Raikkonen and Vettel have both improved to second and third. Raikkonen just eight tenths down on Rosberg, Vettel a further five tenths down.

Bottas' latest effort only puts him eighth.

by Nate Saunders 3/27/2015 3:06:34 AM
Vettel is flying

by rockedin123 3/27/2015 3:06:37 AM
Hulkenberg now reporting the driveability of his Force India is very bad.

by Nate Saunders 3/27/2015 3:07:30 AM
Not unusual to hear so many complaints in FP1 as teams try to find the sweet spots of their cars.

by Nate Saunders 3/27/2015 3:07:47 AM
Kimi is like a Hammer!

by Kavi Khumar 3/27/2015 3:07:58 AM
ferrari have a lot of british engineer work on their car .. So who must get more credits Ferrari or british engineers!!! Ha

by Sammie 3/27/2015 3:08:01 AM
Remember most of the fatal accidents happened due to steering issues. Esp. The fatal crash of the godly Ayrton Senna. Shouldn't this be viewed very seriously?? Cos steering is the only thing that controls the navigation of the car

by rockedin123 3/27/2015 3:08:11 AM
@rockedin123: The FIA will be looking into it. That McLaren wouldn't be allowed to race if there was a genuine safety concern.

by Nate Saunders 3/27/2015 3:08:26 AM
Alonso getting really wide through Turn 12. Looks like he had a spot of understeer there.

by Nate Saunders 3/27/2015 3:09:00 AM
Bottas is good but don't think they should compare him with raikonnen

by Sammie 3/27/2015 3:09:05 AM
I had a special helmet made to celebrate Petronas & Malaysia. Due to the FIA's new rule, I can't wear it. #Petronas http://pbs.twimg.com/media/CBEpjg9XEAA0ZTY.jpg

by Lewis Hamilton via twitter 3/27/2015 3:09:24 AM
That answers my question from earlier. Silly rule.

by Nate Saunders 3/27/2015 3:09:43 AM
Bottas is the future

by MonkeySeat 3/27/2015 3:09:46 AM
It's funny. A few years ago .8 seconds would be the difference between 1st &8th.

SPEED TRAP: Those @Lotus_F1Team cars are absolutely flying... #FP1 #MalaysiaGP http://pbs.twimg.com/media/CBEpNcTUUAEZflZ.jpg
