Just watching free practice 1 & 2 and couldn't help but wonder if the Mercedes, as brilliantly packaged as it is, may have a weakness in warmer temperatures. Perhaps I'm just hoping for a chink in their armour, but the gap to Ferrari wasn't as huge as I was expecting and Lewis was far from happy with problems in both sessions.

Will Malaysia 2015 be Mercedes Canada 2014? :twisted:

This has been mentioned a few times today to which i do question if there 'tight' package may restrict cooling/air flow....
But then again FP2 he did walk all over the pack......

When it worked! ;)

Hamilton is an absolutely machine right now, I wouldn't bet against him posting fastest times if he were in a McLaren!

He is just ridiculous if you ask me, I do hope we have more of a tussle this weekend for #1 :(
