The 2008 Malaysian GP Preview
Following a particularly atypical opening round that generated more questions than answers, the circus moves rapidly on to Sepang. Tom Keeble previews the second round and rates the teams' chances at the Malaysian Grand Prix
The unexpectedly hot Australian Grand Prix is likely to make the test that follows in Malaysia quite interesting. The teams are now headed to one of the hottest weekends of the year, where long straights will require the engines to work hard, putting real stress on the cooling systems.
This means that the nine cars that completed the race in Australia have to consider the longevity of their gearboxes and engines, which may need more looking after on their second hot race, perhaps offering a significant race day advantage to rivals.
