F1 Practice: Malaysia 2009!
This'll have to be quick, as I've got my fantasy baseball league auction tomorrow, and I've got to spend a good long while researching... otherwise I'm gonna be screwed. So without further ado...
Ferrari topped the timesheets in the second practice, BMW was down at the bottom, the McLarens were right in the middle.
Except for that last one, pay no attention to the results. Nobody really knows what anybody was trying to do, as is normal during practices.
Two interesting things, though. First, Kimi Raikkonen's KERS-equipped Ferrari had a tiny little problem today...
I'm fairly sure that when thick acrid smoke starts billowing from your cockpit, it's not a good thing. It's likely the batteries overheated... probably terminal for them, but replaceable. Don't be surprised if this happens to someone during the race: it's supposed to be in the high 90s.
Second, the left-rear wheel cover came off of the Williams of Nico Rosberg while he was going around 160mph or so:
...followed just a few moments later by the left-rear wheel cover of the Williams of Kazoo Nakajima, while he was going around 160mph or so:
Y'know, boys, someone just might want to take a look at that. I'm fairly sure that's not supposed to happen.
Unless it's an elaborate belated April Fool's Day joke. "Okay, Nico, Kazoo, press that purple button..."
Oh, and HWMNBN has an ear infection. Gosh. What a shame. Seriously.

Any sign of alternate rear ends?

Not yet. April 13th is the day the protests come up before the FIA ruling body to find out if the Diffuser Three are legal or not.
Nobody else wants to risk it until then. Of course, that just means that if they ARE approved, everybody'll have 'em in time for China (April 19th).
