Lewis Hamilton believes Mercedes have succeeded in improving their W04's race pace so far at Sepang - although concedes taking the fight to the very top teams in dry conditions will be "very hard".
Speaking during Friday's The F1 Show at the end of Friday's practice running, Sky F1 pundit Johnny Herbert said the team's early-weekend work certainly appeared to be going in the right direction. "Solid work. It looked quite ugly early on - those tyres seemed to sort of have two bands on the left rear - but there seemed to be a little bit of a change in what Ross Brawn said when we spoke to him in the commentary," Johnny said. "So they made some nice strides forward - exactly the same as in Australia. They weren't so good on the Friday but it got better."
