Raikkonen: “It's useful to rediscover the feeling with the F14T after Jerez”

Third day of testing for Scuderia Ferrari and first for Kimi Raikkonen, who returned to the wheel of the F14 T number 7.
The day started with some aerodynamic measurements, some set-up tests and departures from the pit lane. After twelve laps the team encountered a problem with the programming of the telemetry data and was forced to pit to restore normal system functionality.

The program resumed more profitably in the afternoon and the team used the time available to continue work on the car's set-up.

“We didn't cover as many kilometers as we hoped because even a minor problem can cause significant delays” – said Kimi Raikkonen – “This explains the complexity of the new systems even if we managed to run regularly in the afternoon. It was useful for rediscovering the feeling inside the cockpit after the Jerez test and for checking some settings on the balance of the car."
