Bahrain testing Tuesday – Kimi on top
On Raikkonen's program was evaluation of various set up options on the Ferrari F60, of the Bridgestone tires available and on development of new components.
A problem with the cooling element of the Kinetic Energy Recovery System, shortly after 11.30, delayed the program by three hours. Once it was fixed Raikkonen concentrated on long runs interspersed with pit stops. Once again the day ended with practice starts.
Raikkonen was able to complete 107 laps and recorded the fastest lap of the day on a 1:32.102s. Felipe Massa takes over the F60 on Wednesday.
