Red Bull driver Mark Webber set the fastest time, followed by less than a tenth by Kimi Raikkonen, by Vettel a tenth and a half and 4th finished Alonso, a tenth ahead from Vettel.
Both Force India have lagged behind the Mercedes, and Felipe Massa, all in the same split second. As we can see, equality has been the surprise of these free since have finished in the top ten in the same tenth of a second. McLaren is the team that carried more improvements to Malaysia, but it has not set any of its cars in the top 10, just like Williams.
It seems that degradation will be again the puzzle of teams ahead of qualifying and the race. We have seen how the cars destroyed their tyres literally and Red Bull was the most concerned team in this topic. We must wait for the FP2 to get more conclusions and see the soft tyres in action.
