Despite getting back to the top of the time-sheets in Malaysia, Kimi Raikkonen has downplayed Friday’s Malaysian practice results, warning that even though Ferrari netted the 1-2 they still have to wary of the opposition.

The Finn and his team-mate, Felipe Massa set the pace in Friday’s second session as the two broke below the 1:36 barrier with only Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel joining them. Even after setting an impressive pace, Raikkonen has warned against getting carried away. Its to be noted that his car encountered problems with KERS in the 1st practice session.

“This morning we had a problem with the KERS, which cost us a bit of time, but we managed to make up for most of it in the afternoon,” he said. “We had felt that the situation here could be different to Melbourne, but it is still too early to say where we are up against the opposition. “What we can be sure of is that when the car runs trouble-free, we are competitive. We hope we can do a good job in tomorrow’s qualifying.”
