PRACTICE 1
Nico Rosberg made it four in a row for topping the timesheet in Practice 1 in Malaysia. Instinctively many will assume teams are maximizing pratice times as mini testing sesion. Therefore, not much are expected from the times clocked. It will be like earlier winter testing where each teams were running different programs, and hence, different lap times. However the Scuderias are giving quite promising pace compared to teams that are running controversial rear diffuser.
Felipe Massa in an interview mentioned for the time being, the flyaway races are almost definitely going to be dominated by the Brawns and Toyota. It appears the Williams having issue maximizing the rear diffuser in racing condition. Jenson Button, the championship leader, however remain humble and realistic when he says "the Ferrari will catch up, they always do...". And the other teams must not let them. Simply because when they did in the past, no one can catch them up back.
PRACTICE 2
Surprise, surprise. The Ferraris are at the top of the timesheet for Practice 2. But being realistic, this doesn't imply anything concrete. As mentioned before, teams are most likely running different programs, i.e the McLarens are testing new rear wings. And therefore most definitely explains the lap time. Sebastian Vettel seems to be testing race runs for his Red Bull. And he is third. If it rains, he will have the first chance to experience the Red Bull in the wet. If it's not for the 10 place penalty, he will definitely be a threat to the front runners.
