2nd Winter Testing 7th March - 10th March 2017, Barcelona

[vetalo]

Raikkonen pits. As does Bottas. Raikkonen emerges the other side. Bottas doesn't. And the world keeps spinning. - teasing others to think Ferrari was running light

[vetalo]

Could be he did the "let go of the pedal in the last sector" thing we seem to be doing now

Yes he did

Could be he did the "let go of the pedal in the last sector" thing we seem to be doing now

i think he might be having a ice-cream at final sector.
Radio message in final sector : "Kimi ....push ..push"
Kimi: "Let me do my own work first"

[S1000RR]

And Ferrari now hold the fastest times on each compound...

Ultrasofts: Sebastian Vettel, Day Seven, 1:19.024

Supersofts: Kimi Raikkonen, Day Eight, 1:19.019

Softs: Kimi Raikkonen, Day Eight, 1:19.267

Mediums: Sebastain Vettel, Day Three, 1:21.609

[nani_s23]

12:37 Raikkonen's back out in the Ferrari. Will we get our much sought after 1m18s lap? We shiver with antici...pation

[nani_s23]

12:37 Raikkonen has set the fastest first sector so far.

[nani_s23]

12:38 And the fastest second sector...

[nani_s23]

12:38 It's a 1m18.634s!

[nani_s23]

on SS...that's a ripper

[IulianFerrari]

1:18.634 supersoft tire. Just 0.3 off of the track record. If he switches to ultrasofts might be enough...

[mhmalik]

12:38 It's a 1m18.634s!

He is still on super softs!!!

[jgonzalesm6]

Vettel might have his hands full with Kimi????

[zike]

on SS...that's a ripper

nice lap

[jragona]

Stop the clock and get this down:

Kimi Raikkonen has just smashed in a lap of 1:18.634 on the supersoft tyres

That's not merely the fastest time of F1 Testing so far but good enough to earn a round of applause in the media centre. And that really takes some doing.

[S1000RR]

Holy ! I hope we are not overplaying our hand here

[vetalo]

THE FIRST 1:18'S LAP
Wow! 1:18.634 for Raikkonen!

[nani_s23]

12:39 Glad we didn't waste that Rocky Horror Picture Show reference on a dud medium-shod inlap/outlap. Thanks Ferrari.

[jragona]

And that means we're nearly at outright record Circuit de Catalunya pace...just three tenths away now from the fastest lap ever around this version of the circuit with the chicane.

[vetalo]

Stop the clock and get this down:

Kimi Raikkonen has just smashed in a lap of 1:18.634 on the supersoft tyres

[nani_s23]

Kimi finished his ice--cream in the first sector itself, so he hurried to grab one from the pit by not slowing down in the final sector.

[S1000RR]

[nani_s23]

yesterday at the same time, just couple of mins to go for lunch. Seb was teasing with the lap times in low 1.19's.

[nani_s23]

12:48 The recovery of the Haas begins. Reports that the marshals were initially a bit perplexed it wasn't an orange car are believed to be wide of the mark.

Kimi is still out so that Ferrari wasn't running on fumes ...
