There is no respite for the Formula 1 teams who, less than
forty eight hours after the end of the British Grand Prix,
were back in action at Hockenheim for the first of three days
of testing.
Kimi Raikkonen took to the track for Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro.
The reigning world champion and, along with two others, the
leader of the 2008 series, had a programme centred on set-up
work in preparation for the German Grand Prix, which takes
place at this track on 20th July. He also evaluated new aerodynamic
and mechanical components. The day’s work was held up
by rain which fell intermittently up to four in the afternoon.
Kimi completed a total of 63 laps, the quickest in a time
of 1.15.803.
The Scuderia continues testing at this circuit tomorrow,
with Raikkonen again on track.
