Zoom Ferrari are expected to dominate at Silverstone

This afternoon saw the teams bring three days of testing to a close here at the Silverstone circuit, which hosts the British Grand Prix a week Sunday.

Reigning world champion Kimi Raikkonen was at the wheel of the F2008 today for Ferrari as the Finnish driver continued with the work initiated over the past couple of days by team-mate Felipe Massa, focussed mainly on the development of new aerodynamic and mechanical solutions, as well as research into the best set up for the car for next weekend’s race at this track.

Today was however affected by several interruptions caused by cars stranded out on track. Raikkonen was third fastest on the day with his 13th lap of 60 proving the quickest.

“I am pleased with the way testing went,” Raikkonen stated before leaving the circuit. “Obviously it is far too early to say where we can be on this track compared to our main rivals, but I can see no reason why we should not be competitive.”

Ferrari will be back on track next Tuesday at the Fiorano circuit, where Luca Badoer will carry out the shakedown of the cars that will be used by the team at the British Grand Prix.
