Today
was the first day of testing this week for Kimi Räikkönen and
his teammate Felipe Massa, working at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo in
the Spanish Valencia. Until Thursday both of them will check the
performance of the Ferrari F2008.
With
the exception of Super Aguri, all Formula One teams were in action
on track today to prepare their cars for the forthcoming season.
Kimi and Felipe worked mainly on general development of the F2008
and on finding the best set-up on the cars, which ran all day
without any technical problems. Kimi completed a total of 100 laps
and set in 1:12.721 minutes the second fastest time of the day.
With that he had a gap of 0.539 seconds on his teammate Felipe
Massa, who was fastest with a lap time of 1:12.182 minutes.
Testing
continues at this circuit tomorrow, again with Kimi and Felipe on
track.
