    Tire markings look great. Far better than Melbourne... hopefully they keep the white line, it makes it so much easier on everyone...

    Not so sure about the Renault part, they seem to have a flawed design.

    A link to some pictures from Sepang:

    It seems like they are using some Star Wars ships for inspiration, that car looks more like a "Jedi-mobile".

    Looks like a pitot tube to collect air density and speed data.

    Especially useful in tuning the car in Malaysia due to the high humidity there.

    It looks like more wet weather for testing tomorrow!
    The extended forecast calls for rain the next 6 to 10 days!
    If rain is eminent going into race day do you think it might affect Ferrari's decision whether to change KR's engine?
    With rain comes (slightly) lower ambient temperatures. But with rain it a driver of Kimi's skill could really overtake in short order!
    My opinion: I don't have a clue!
    I need input! I still haven't made my picks!!!

    2.Massa
    3.Davidson
    ...

    It seems that Renault used dome upgraded parts today.

    Anyway over these 4 days everyone wen more or less up and down on the time sheets, with maybe Ferrari a bit more stable, so difficult to draw a conclusion with the available data.

    Nice to see that Renault has got better speed now, maybe Kovalainen can show his true capacity in Malaysia GP.
    Two real racers: Vettel the :champion: of 2010, 2011 and 2012 - Kimi the :champion: of 2007
