Those who feared this year’s F1 season would be dominated by one man will have been relieved to see the Ferraris of Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen take the top two positions on the grid for tomorrow’s Malaysian Grand Prix. Championship leader Lewis Hamilton finished the day a second behind the Italian team and a tenth down on team mate Heikki Kovalainen.

Following complains by Heidfeld and Alonso, the McLaren drivers have been summoned before the stewards.
