Team talk: Day three at the second test

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

Ferrari

Kimi Raikkonen (1st, 1:22.765, 136 laps)
“It was one of our best days of testing. We could run without a single stop, except for the red flags on track. Maybe we could have been faster on some laps, but in general the feeling was fine and we are more or less happy with the way things are going. Of course there’s always room to improve and work to do. Like I said many times, I don’t like guessing so there’s no point in figuring out where we’ll be in Melbourne. We will try our best as always. This morning I tried the Halo protection device and the difference to the usual driving was surprisingly small. The visibility is just a little bit limited at the front but I don’t think this is the final version of the device, so it can be improved further.”
