Hamilton has had a Malaysian practice and comfortably was the quickest of them all in two days practice session , with team-mate Jenson Button 3rd-quickest in the second session of the day.
It wasn't such a good day for Red Bull, though, with world champion Sebastian Vettel more than half a second behind Hamilton in the first session and down in 10th place after the second. His team-mate Mark Webber was 6th and 7th respectively in the day's two sessions.
Force India's Paul Di Resta had an eventful second practice, sliding off the track twice. He also had to deal with breaking problems and a front-right puncture during his time on the circuit, but still managed to set the 13th fastest time.
High temperatures and humidity in Kuala Lumpur have led to worries about how long the tyres will cope in the testing conditions. Both Vettel and Felipe Massa told their respective teams over their onboard radios that they were struggling with grip.
McLaren, however, looked impressive from the outset, and Hamilton and Button will be aiming to complete a 1-2 on the grid when qualifying takes place tomorrow morning.
The third practice starts at 5am, with qualifying getting underway at 8.
