MyLotusRacing on Twitter: "Can it get any hotter?"

Rory Underwood
BBC Sport's Sarah Holt in Kuala Lumpur: "Former England wing Rory Underwood, who won 85 caps, put his safe hands to good use in pit-stop practice with Lotus early on Saturday morning. Underwood went to school with team boss Tony Fernandes in Kuala Lumpur before the family moved back to the UK and his old mate soon got him back to work. 'They were thinking of putting me in the car so all I'd have to do is press the brake,' he said. 'I wasn't expecting to get hold of the air gun and do the tyres.

"'You're kneeling down, it's very hot and the car is going backwards and forwards. It's a tricky job. To hear that the Red Bull guys are getting it down to nearly three seconds is incredible.' Underwood was helping out Toni Scott, who is the only female mechanic currently working in the paddock and whose job it is to remove the front-right wheel on Heikki Kovalainen's car. As Underwood exited the Lotus pit-box, mopping his brow, he was asked 'Good job, what are you doing on Sunday?' 'Watching the race,' he sensibly replied."

VirginRacing on Twitter: "Time to put the headset on. FP3 starting in 25 mins. We have a new fuel pickup modification so will be testing that."

MikeGascoyne on Twitter: "Very hot here today, with the chance of showers increasing from now."

0532: The first thing to tell you, is that this morning in Kuala Lumpur has been an absolute steamer - which more often than not means rain late in the day. And with qualifying scheduled for 1600 local time (0900 BST), that could spice things up rather nicely. Before all that, we have third and final practice in just under half an hour (0600 BST) and right now the sun is blazing with barely a whisper of the white stuff up above. Not that I'd rather be out there to enjoy it, oh no...

0530: Well this is a little more of a sane start time, isn't it? I mean, it's still not ideal, but at least I won't need matchsticks to keep my eyes open for this morning's final practice ahead of qualifying. I hope.
