Hamilton over Raikkonen at Valencia

Lewis Hamilton threw off the cloud of his major test shunt at Valencia last week by setting the quickest time on his return to the circuit on Friday.

The extended four-day session ended in Spain with cold but dry conditions, and Hamilton's best at the wheel of the new McLaren was seven tenths quicker than the Ferrari driven by Kimi Raikkonen.

BMW, Renault, Red Bull and Honda also tested on Friday.

F1's winter action resumes at Jerez next week, where a second 'F2007' will be occupied by Raikkonen's teammate Felipe Massa.
