Sebastian Vettel appeared to be right on the ragged edge at various stages of Friday practice for the Malaysian Grand Prix. Fortunately for the young German racer, Nick Heidfeld did keep his eye on the mirrors and gave Vettel room as he slither wildly under braking into the final turn.Vettel may not have been the smoothest as the action got underway at Sepang but he did finish the afternoon session with the third fastest time, just a fraction faster than team-mate Mark Webber who was fifth.

“The heat in Malaysia is always a surprise, even if you’re here for a couple of days before you jump in the car. Today went well, with smooth running. We ran through our programme, did a lot of laps and got a lot of information about our tyres. There were no major problems with either car, so it was a good day.”
Mark Webber
“Today was a lot better for us in terms of reliability than Friday in Melbourne, so it was a big step forward. Both cars ran well and obviously it’s a big challenge for the cars around here with the heat, so that’s good. We got all of our programme completed in plenty of time. Performance wise, we’re not too bad here. We have a bit of work to do tonight, but in general it was a pretty good day for the team and for me."
