    Any info on our times other than headline times. Our cars not moving about as much as in Australia relative to others. Looks like tyre preservation will be more important than outright pace.

    The way things are, they might as well scrap that donkey of a car, and start designing a new one for Spain. :(

    13th position for Felipe, 15th for Fernando. It is the first session of the weekend but it could not be too far away from the reality.

    Wasn't there an outcry the past 2 years about Ferrari not being 'out there' enough with their car designs?
    Mark Webber: "If you push to try and pass you kill the tyres but if you wait, then you find you're on the same strategy and finish behind them anyway".

    Malaysian GP - Aerodynamic testing as Sepang gets underway

    Sepang, 23 March – Just a few days after the opening round of the Formula 1 World Championship in Melbourne, the cars were back in action at Sepang for the first free practice session of the fourteenth running of the Malaysian Grand Prix. Quickest was Lewis Hamilton (1.38.021) in the McLaren, followed by Sebastian Vettel (1.38.535) in the Red Bull and the Mercedes of Nico Rosberg (1.38.813.) The F2012s of Felipe Massa and Fernando Alonso were 13th and 15th respectively with times of 1.39.896 and 1.39.980. They ran different programmes on the demaning Malaysian track, trying various aero configurations while both of them ran just one set each of the Hard tyres, and fitted in some pit stop and start practice.

    3 am start time here. I'm debating about watching it. Would be the first one I've missed in years.

    Looks like the car is completely wrong, how can they bring out an f1 car that is soooo unstable and slow? havent we gone though wind tunnel testing for this? havent we got ppl in the engineering and set up departments getting paid ridiculous amounts of money to produce a fast car? Why can't they produce? Aren;t they the best in the world at this? Did we start early development of this car last season? Why is it a lemon???????? WE WANT ANSWERS please

    Hopefully they will work on the setup for this circuit now. We need to salvage as many points as we can this weekend.

    This one is going to be disaster for Ferrari. As someone said if we survive Q2 we will be lucky. Without a rain on a race day, we can be lapped...

    Good thing is that race is starting at 10:00 here in Serbia. At least I will not wake early in the morning to watch Mclaren, Red Bull fight for victory. Then again if it rains, that could be a triller... Who knows... Let's wait and sea.

    Ted Kravitz was saying something about the Renault engine teams to have some kind of traction control...
    I couldn't really hear what he was saying, but it had something to do with cutting of some cylinders so they had a more stable acceleration.
