Kimi Raikkonen returned to the test track today in the Team
McLaren Mercedes MP4-21. Kimi completed 41 laps of the Jerez
circuit, covering over 180km and putting in a fastest time
of 1m18.933.
Kimi did not leave the garage during the afternoon session
as his MP4-21 had a minor problem with the gearbox and an
engine oil leak which necessitated both components to be removed
in order to complete repairs. This work took the majority
of the afternoon and Kimi will return to the track tomorrow
morning to continue his programme.
Pedro de la Rosa set the fastest time of the day at the Spanish
track, with a 1m17.454, which he set on the way to covering
over 540km in the interim MP4-20. Pedro's work continued to
focus on Michelin tyre testing.
Kimi will be at the wheel of the MP4-21 for the morning of
tomorrow's session, with Pedro taking over driving duties
of the new car in the afternoon. Gary Paffett will join the
test to drive in the MP4-20.
