True.

He can show this year, if the RB is as troubled as it now , what his real character is and how good he really is.

[RedPassion]

bann the renaults!!!

I thoght no GP2 car was allowed testing with F1!
WOW they are dying like flies

[SinanOzerS]

Race simulation has just started.

[tifosi1993]

Raikkonen 1:41.9

Edit: Hulk started his race sim with 1:43.7

[emirBoz]

go kimii go, this is good lap for todays conditions

[anakin]

autosport live now keeping a closer look at this race sim by kimi.
Raikkonen's race run could be underway now - he's kicked off with a 1m41.9s. We'll keep an eye on it - providing he stays out this time - and let you know how he's getting on.

That's a huge degredation.

Soft tires too soft for the track? That's quite a drop

Quite worst

[Jose Lorca]

Are Massa and Rosberg also doing race simulations? We are lapping two seconds slower than them according to Sky.

[OSS EL BOSS]

That's not Rosberg's first stint I think, and he seems to be on new medium tyres too.

Track is slower today by some margin. Looks ok if track slower by 2 seconds but thats a complete guess.

[Jose Lorca]

13:03 That first stint from Raikkonen was three laps longer than Alonso's opener yesterday afternoon, and on average it was around 0.3s per lap slower than the Spaniard managed.

Don't read too much into that, as several teams have told us that track evolution has been hard to judge during this test, due to changes in temperature, wind, and dust.

[OSS EL BOSS]

Rosberg is not doing a race simulation.

[OSS EL BOSS]

You can compare Kimis laptimes with Hulkenbergs or Magnussens race simulation laptimes, and he is faster than both.

[Hornet]

Rosberg is not doing a race simulation.

Running multiple lap consecutively looks like a race sim to me.

Kimi's second stint (Medium)

[Schumiklub]

We don't know how much fuel he's running in the car.

[mark p]

You can compare Kimis laptimes with Hulkenbergs or Magnussens race simulation laptimes, and he is faster than both.

Magnusen 16 lap stint v 12 lap stint for Rai but Ferrari averaged over a second a lap faster with 43's 44s v 44s 45s.
