Raikkonen happy with Germany test

For the second day of testing for the Formula One teams at the Hockenheim circuit, in preparation for the German Grand Prix, that will take place at this track on 20th July, Ferrari driver Kimi Raikkonen was again on track for the Maranello based squad, the reigning world champion continuing with work on finding the best set-up for the F2008, as well as development of various aerodynamic and mechanical solutions.

Kimi completed a total of 90 laps over the course of the day, the quickest being n a time of 1.15.296, leaving him third on the timesheets behind the McLaren of Lewis Hamilton and the Williams of Nico Rosberg.

“I am reasonably satisfied with the way things went during these two days of testing," commented Kimi 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."

Thursday Felipe Massa will be 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.
