Malaysia – Friday Practice 2

by Terry Saunders on 3/04/2009

Rain threatened for the whole session, but aside from a few measly drops the session remained pretty dry as the new world order took a bi of a bashing as Malaysia got used to its normal 1-2 from Ferrari.

A relatively uneventful session, Fisichella slowly punched the wall with his Force India, and both Williams played high speed frisbee with their aerodynamic wheel covers coming off the rear left wheels.

Will Ferrari maintain this speed tomorrow? Kimi had another KERS (pronounced KERS) issue near the end of the session, so this may cause problems over the weekend.
