Car: F2007
Weather: air temperature 14/19 °C, track temperature 16/27
°C. Overcast, windy.
Third day of testing this week for Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro,
working once again today at the “Paul Ricard”
circuit at Le Castellet, in the South of France.
Today it was Kimi Raikkonen’s turn to take to the track.
Along with his fellow drivers, the Finn was running on track
1E V2, a different version of the circuit to that used over
the two previous days: this one, which is over five kilometres
long was selected to reproduce some characteristics of medium
fast tracks like those to be tackled on the North American
leg of the series in June. Kimi worked on finding the best
set-up, comparing the different types of tyre provided by
Bridgestone and on development of some mechanical and aerodynamic
components.
The summary of Kimi’s day in figures is: 50 laps completed,
the quickest in a time of 1.28.833.
Testing at this circuit continues tomorrow, again with Kimi
Raikkonen on track.
