Räikkönen the fastest in a chaotic day

Kimi Räikkönen has been the fastest driver today in the first pre-season day testing of Formula 1 in Jerez, Spain. The finn even though started the day bad, he has driven more than any other car, in a day that it finished with rain.

This morning, Hamilton was the fastest but he was involved on an accident. For further information look the chronicle of this morning here.

The afternoon has been so difficult and maybe more busy than the morning. Caterham launched his car with Marcus Ericsson behind of the steering  wheel.

Also we had seen all the cars fewer the Mercedes, who not race in afternoon due to the crash morning, and the Mclaren for electric problems. Marussia not race as well because the team hasn’t arrives in Jerez.

Räikkönen had been the only man who drives constancy and without problems, scorching a 31 laps in the Spanish circuit before the rain appears.

A rain that Sebastian Vettel has used to drive with his car and Valtteri Bottas use it to take the 3rd place of the day.
