A thorough review of all the events and results from round two of the season

Practice one - Friday am

Brawn looked set to pick up where it left off in the Australian Grand Prix by taking first and second in opening practice at Sepang.

But instead, a late charge from Williams helped Nico Rosberg and Kazuki Nakajima to repeat their Melbourne opening practice 1-2, ahead of Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello.
