Team talk: Day three at the first test

Catch up with what all the teams had to say following the third day of the opening pre-season test at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya

Ferrari

Kimi Raikkonen (3rd, 1:25.977, 78 laps)
“The atmosphere in the team is quite nice even if, honestly, we’re still working on different things and still find something new to work on, but I am sure it’s going to be a better car than last year’s. There are always small changes between one car and another, they are never the same. We had improvements in many areas from the past season. These are early days, especially for me with this car. We are happy so far, even if we know that there are still a lot of things to do. There were tricky things and it takes time to fix them. It was painful losing time today, but we always try to do our best. There are always mistakes but we always want to improve and learn from them.”
