Kimi slowly getting used to Ferrari car


Ferrari driver Kimi Raikkonen has been testing at Jerez this week as he continues to acclimatise to his new team. As well as getting used to a new car, the Finnish driver has to learn how to get the best out of Bridgestone tyres having been used to Michelin rubber at McLaren.


"It is getting better all the time but it takes time to get used to it," the 27-year-old told autosport.com."We still have some work to do, every day it is getting easier: I think we need to work on the car to make it work for me," he added.

Raikkonen debuts F2007

On Tuesday morning Kimi Raikkonen completed his first lap in Ferrari's F2007. The Finn completed an installation run in the wet at Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Valencia. In the afternoon Raikkonen continued his day of testing with Ferrari under better circumstances.

At the circuit in Vallelunga, Italy, Kimi Raikkonen covered his first miles in a Ferrari F1 car last week. With Ferrari's 2006 contender, the 248 F1, Raikkonen had to deal with bad weather at the Italian track. This week he is scheduled to test Ferrari's 2007 contender, but his test began once again in bad weather. In the afternoon Raikkonen began his proper test session with the car and completed more laps. His car was not fitted with a transponder and thus it is impossible to follow his lap times on the timing screens…
