Ferrari: Michael Schumacher and Kimi Raikkonen in action on the first day in Barcelona
Circuit: Circuit de Catalunya – 4,655 km
Drivers: Kimi Raikkonen and Michael Schumacher
Car: F2008
Weather: air temperature 11/18 °C, asphalt temperature 11/18 °C. Overcast, track
wet in the morning.
After a two-day break, the tests that Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro is carrying out at the Circuit de Catalunya, near Barcelona, resumed this morning in view of the start of the 2008 World Championship.
Having recovered from the slight ailment that prevented him from shooting last time
week, Kimi Raikkonen took to the track today at the wheel of the F2008 equipped with the latest aerodynamic updates; alongside him an exceptional test driver like Michael Schumacher.
On a day characterized by less than optimal weather conditions - a wet track for almost the whole morning - today's work mainly concerned the search for the overall reliability of the car as well as set-up tests.
This is the breakdown of the day in figures: 82 laps for Kimi (best time 1.22.319) and 83 for Michael (1.22.428).
Testing on this track will continue tomorrow too, when Felipe Massa will be in charge
alongside Raikkonen.
