McLaren is fastest F1 team at moment!!!
Lewis Hamilton set fastest time on Friday free practices for the Malaysian Grand Prix as McLaren looks set for another competitive race weekend. He was comfortably faster than his nearest competitors, team-mate Jenson Buton, and Michael Schumacher and Nico Rosberg with Mercedes AMG cars.Outside the top teams, Red Bull some way off the pace and Ferrai with Fernando Alonso but both teams with decent long-run pace, which correlates with their performance in Australia last Sunday.
Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Massa were slower than their times on hard tyres so should have time in hand when it comes to final practice and qualifying. The HRTs were well within 107% of Hamilton's fastest time and racked up 40 laps between them which bodes well for qualifying .
