Who has the edge in Sepang after a too-close-to-call Friday?

The Bahrain Grand Prix at Sepang has seen a highly competitive start, with the top four teams separated by just four tenths of a second during second practice. Despite the intense pace, determining an early favorite remains difficult as tire degradation has become the primary concern for all teams. Data currently suggests that the field is too tightly packed to make a definitive call on who holds the advantage, as teams continue to grapple with managing their tires under the intense heat and circuit conditions.
