Red Bull Racing completed the Friday practice sessions at Sepang ahead of this weekends second Grand Prix of the Season. The Red Bull duo of Vettel and Webber finished the sessions in a highly respectable 3rd and 5th places respectively. Here are their thoughts so far.

Car 15 SEBASTIAN VETTEL, 1st Practice P9, 2nd Practice P3

"The heat in Malaysia is always a surprise, even if you're here for a couple of days before you jump in the car. It's very hot with the suit and everything and, no matter how much you prepare, the first outing is always a bad surprise - but, you quickly adapt. Every time you come in to the box it's like you've been in the shower. Fortunately I've got a bag with dry ice in it, which I put next to my balls, so at least they stay nice and cool! 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."

"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."

Sebastien Vettel is a dead set legend.

All good then so far. Let's hope it only gets better

I hope Seb doesn't start to try too hard to be funny all the time. He has a great natural humour, he doesn't need to force it.
