McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton ended the Red Bull domination of practice ahead of the Malaysian Grand Prix by topping the timesheets in the final run at the Sepang Circuit on Saturday.
Briton Hamilton clocked a time of one minute, 36.340 seconds on an overcast day where track temperatures reached 43 degrees and humidity was at a stifling 75 percent.
Hamilton’s time was 0.290 seconds quicker than the Red Bull of Mark Webber, who produced a quick final lap on soft tyres after being near the bottom of the timesheets for most of the session as he ran on the harder version. euronews
