Kimi Raikkonen got on with preparations for the Monaco Grand Prix, running on a version of the track that simulates some of the characteristics of the Monegasque circuit. The Finn worked on finding the best set-up and on development of new aerodynamic components. Raikkonen completed 103 laps over the day, recording a best lap of 1:06.098s, second fastest on the day.
