Sepang Friday: one session only!

I only had the one session today and it did not go that well, although we did acquire a lot of data on long and short runs. Now, we must look carefully at the figures, because on track, I did not manage to put everything together perfectly: I had a yellow flag, when I was on what would have been my fastest lap on new soft tyres, so in terms of outright lap time it is a long way off what we can do, not reflecting our real pace. We expected tyre degradation here and in fact we have seen a very different situation to what we had in Melbourne. However, we have to be quite cautious about drawing conclusions too quickly. It might change the order a bit, but honestly I dont expect big changes. We can improve for tomorrow. As always, its very hot here, but nothing we dont know how to deal with. Second Practice Session Best lap 1.40.115, pos. 18th, 31 laps
