Lap times 3rd practice 2014 Malaysian F1 Grand Prix
Nico Rosberg - Mercedes W05
Event: Malaysian Grand Prix
Track: Sepang International Circuit
In final practice both Mercedes drivers Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton showed their fabulous speed and smashed the competition with a 1,1 second gap to best of the rest Kimi Raikkonen.
McLaren had some difficulties with their engine power. Kevin Magnussen couldn't even set a lap time because of this.
Mercedes relativity safe to win the battle for pole later today. They look fast but when you compare their fastest lap time with last V8 season, you will see a difference of 2,5 seconds a lap. The lap record of Sepang is already 10 years old. Juan Pablo Montoya (Williams FW26) drive 1:34.223 min in the race of 2004
