Malaysian Grand Prix - Free Practice Two

3rd & 7 37yd

Kvyat not getting it yet

by Achyut 3/27/2015 6:23:04 AM
Rosberg's next lap extends his advantage to 0.370s.

by Nate Saunders 3/27/2015 6:23:46 AM
yes, Mika and David. at least with the 1998 Spa race, you knew who the culprit was. yes, the teams should have a larger name somewhere on the car to identify a driver more clearly along with the their favored number.

by Efranov 3/27/2015 6:23:51 AM
Sad to see Mclaren struggling ... limited practice shows how reliant teams have to be on simulation

by Sqawk48 3/27/2015 6:23:54 AM
Now since we have the full grid weekend, who would make the cut to top 10 finish from the teams like SAU & TR? Nasr? Sainz
?

by Rohan Mehta 3/27/2015 6:24:00 AM
@RohanMehta: I think Toro Rosso look very strong. If you take reliability and a botched pit stop out of the equation, Verstappen and Sainz would have had a great weekend.

by Nate Saunders 3/27/2015 6:24:30 AM
Kimi made up quite a bit of time after that horrible pit stop. Shame he could not finish

by RCC 3/27/2015 6:24:41 AM
Best time so far for ALO is 1m43.040s - that puts him 11th fastest. BUT's best is a 1m43.222s - 13th.

Merhi comes out for a run in the other Marussia.

by Nate Saunders 3/27/2015 6:25:40 AM
This means only Kvyat and Hamilton are yet to venture out on track.

by Nate Saunders 3/27/2015 6:25:53 AM
Feeling bad to see force India struggle

by sandeep/sfi 3/27/2015 6:26:01 AM
the Renault engine would more likely disappoint the team if Renault have not got on top of their issues. but you can be sure the Merc powered cars would be in the top ten along with the Fereri unit cars.

by Efranov 3/27/2015 6:26:10 AM
Oh okay... Yeah that is true.. How about Nasr? Keeping in mind, the disqualis and non-participation of other drivers, he could still make top 10 this weekend. What a start for Sauber!

by Rohan Mehta 3/27/2015 6:26:13 AM
@RohanMehta: Indeed. A great start to the new year from Ferrari in general.

guessing 15 minutes until Hamilton is on the track. Guess it is Nico's time to win this race as it was Lewis' last time out?

by Efranov 3/27/2015 6:28:57 AM
@Efranov: Not sure it's that simple! Remember, by winning this race last year Hamilton triggered a run of four in a row.

by Nate Saunders 3/27/2015 6:29:12 AM
I feel for those mechanics working flat out on Lewis's car in that oppressive heat & humidity !

by Sqawk48 3/27/2015 6:29:15 AM
Really feeling sad for SFI. They always started strong....Australia was bit of fluke. Hope they improve...huge curve for improvement

by AJ 3/27/2015 6:29:25 AM
The garages have a lot of cool air pumping through them.

by Nate Saunders 3/27/2015 6:29:35 AM
Don't get too excited just yet... but @LewisHamilton is suited and booted, ready for action... #F1 #MalaysiaGP

by Mercedes-AMG F1 via twitter 3/27/2015 6:30:05 AM
Folks writing Hamilton off already ... bit premature for that

by Grumpy 3/27/2015 6:31:07 AM
I read the weekend preview and it indeed looks ROS could be on top spot though little early to say as HAM has not had any run. It is just that ROS has not been able to convert as many poles to wins.

by Rohan Mehta 3/27/2015 6:31:12 AM
Hulkenberg leaps ahead of his team-mate Perez but worryingly for Force India that's only for 15th.

by Nate Saunders 3/27/2015 6:31:46 AM
#Sepang fact: One of the principle places to recover energy under braking is T1.

by Renault Sport via twitter 3/27/2015 6:32:03 AM
...Coming directly after the pit straight the driver will brake down from eighth to third gear and just 80kph for the entry of the turn.

by Renault Sport via twitter 3/27/2015 6:32:03 AM
We have yellow flags, and now a red flag, for a Manor Marussia beached in the gravel on the outside of Turn 11. It's Roberto Merhi.

by Nate Saunders 3/27/2015 6:32:46 AM
That also appears to have jeopardised a qualifying simulation from Vettel, who was not far behind.

by Nate Saunders 3/27/2015 6:33:02 AM
Seeing an on board it seems Merhi locked his rear breaks and then he just spun into the gravel.

by Nate Saunders 3/27/2015 6:33:32 AM
Merhi: "I think I spin in the corner ten."
Manor: "OK we can see that, switch off the engine."

by Nate Saunders 3/27/2015 6:34:28 AM
Doesn't appear there is any damage to Merhi's car.

by Nate Saunders 3/27/2015 6:34:43 AM
Wouldn't read too much on SFI's FP timings. ...and looking back at Malaysia GP 2014, HUL finished an impressive 5th!

by Rohan Mehta 3/27/2015 6:34:55 AM
Hmmm ... Force India showing it's not just the engine that gets results !

by Sqawk48 3/27/2015 6:34:57 AM
Hamilton is having issues, losing so much running time, it could play a role later on. i am more concerned for hamilton then you may think.

by Efranov 3/27/2015 6:35:02 AM
Ouch. Seems Merhi gave his head a smack on the crane as he stepped out of the car there.

by Nate Saunders 3/27/2015 6:35:20 AM
So it's al quiet out there as the crane removes Merhi's car. Red flags still out.

by Nate Saunders 3/27/2015 6:35:42 AM
Merhi is currently 0.072s inside the 107% time.

by Nate Saunders 3/27/2015 6:36:11 AM
For a second there I misread Renault's tweet and thought they would breakdown after the pit

by rpr 3/27/2015 6:36:18 AM
by Formula 1 via twitter 3/27/2015 6:36:28 AM
Session will resume in two minutes.

by Nate Saunders 3/27/2015 6:36:41 AM
Shame for Merhi, Manor need all the track time they can get, especially after missing pre-season testing

by Antony Makanza 3/27/2015 6:37:18 AM
by Honda Racing F1 via twitter 3/27/2015 6:37:39 AM
The flags are green and Hamilton is one of the first out on track.

by Nate Saunders 3/27/2015 6:39:56 AM
that picture reads more for me. he must of misjudged his braking.
