Tuesday
marked the second day of testing for the F1 teams at the
Hockenheim circuit, in preparation for the German Grand Prix, that
will take place at this track a week Sunday.
Kimi
Raikkonen was again on track for Italian team and the reigning
world champion continued with work on finding the best set-up for
the F2008, as well as development of various aerodynamic and
mechanical solutions. Raikkonen completed 90 laps, the quickest in
a time of 1.15.296s, third fastest on the day.
"I
am reasonably satisfied with the way things went during these two
days of testing," commented Raikkonen at the end of the day.
"We mainly tried to find settings for the car which will
allow us to be in good shape for the Grand Prix. I think we will
also be competitive on this track, as indeed we have been for the
year so far."
"The
speed isn’t lacking, but sometimes, we haven’t managed to put
together all the elements and have not succeeded in exploiting all
the potential at our disposal."
Tomorrow,
it will be Felipe Massa on track at Hockenheim, while Kimi
Raikkonen will be in Brussels, taking part in the European Youth
Conference on Road Safety, which takes place at the headquarters
of the European Commission at the Berlaymont Building.
