Team talk: Day four at the first test

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

Ferrari

Kimi Raikkonen (1st, 1:23.477, 80 laps)
“It was a normal test with different kind of tyres, but it is always different from what you see at the races. We have a new car here and there is always something to try, to test. So it is necessary to check everything. Testing time is painful, but it is better to do checks beforehand than having big problems during the Championship. I don’t know if this is going to be a good car, no one can tell, but it seems to be a good car even if there are still many things to try out. We don’t look at what the other teams do, we do our stuff and get ready. It’s up to us to make sure we are in a good position. There is a good potential but we can still improve.”
