Review information is loading.
McLaren is preparing for the possibility of heavy afternoon rain at Sepang, the Malaysian circuit that RacingNews365 says is returning to the Formula 1 calendar. Team director Randy Singh said wet conditions were an important factor in its preparations because McLaren had not yet had a competitive wet session under the current regulations. His comments were quoted by RacingNews365 from a team press release. [1]
Singh said Friday would give the drivers time to reacquaint themselves with Sepang. McLaren also plans to assess its set-up and car configuration, learn more about the tyres and see how overtaking and racing work with the new cars and power units. [1]
Rain remains a possibility, not a forecast of what the race will bring. For McLaren, Friday’s running will be a chance to gather information before the rest of the weekend. [1]
