P4 - "The Hulk" goes strong

Kuala Lumpur - Nico Hulkenberg went strong at Free Practice I of the Malaysian GP on Friday in Kuala Lumpur. The 23-year-old was fourth fastest in the morning.

The Force India driver completed 23 laps in total with a personal best time of 1:40.377 minutes. "It was a positive session for me," Hulkenberg, who tested the super hard tyres for the first time, said.

"P4 is a great result, but it definitely doesn't reflect how competitive we really are," he added. "But we have collected some data, I am happy."

The best time of the session was set by Mark Webber (Red Bull) with a 1:37.651 in front of Lewis Hamilton (McLaren, +1.665) and Michael Schumacher (Mercedes, +2.140).
