Kimi lapped the Shanghai International Circuit in a time of 1min 35.492secs during a soft tyre run in the afternoon session. <strong>Romain Grosjean<\/strong> was hampered on his flying lap using the softs; ending his second session with the twelfth fastest time. Romain conducted comparison work on the team\u2019s latest exhaust package and ran with a new front wing, while Kimi trialled new rear floor aero parts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kimi Raikkonen<\/strong>, said after the practice round that it has been a pretty oaky day for him. \u201cIf you look at the lap time it looks to have been a pretty okay day. For sure there are things we have to improve and you never know what will happen tomorrow but it\u2019s a reasonable start to the weekend. We seem to be happy with the soft tyres and maybe not as happy with the harder ones. We\u2019ve still got time to improve and we\u2019re certainly not struggling so it could be a good weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Meanwhile Romain Grosjean, said it wasn&#8217;t easy for him and that he was still looking for the right step<\/strong>. \u201cI ran with the new exhaust package in the morning and the older one in the afternoon to try to help find where improvements can be made. We now have a lot of data to help find the extra performance we want. The new front wing helps, so that\u2019s a step in the right direction. In Malaysia we developed the car as the weekend continued and there are of course a few things we can change overnight. It\u2019s a new day tomorrow and we\u2019ll hopefully be able to have the car as I\u2019d like it for a strong result this weekend,\u201d said Grosjean.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alan Permane<\/strong>, Trackside Operations Director said: \u201cWe\u2019re reasonably happy with what was a fairly normal Friday for us. Kimi\u2019s pace looks strong and he felt he could have gone faster on his flying lap. Romain\u2019s lap time is not representative after he got caught up behind Lewis [Hamilton] during his option run. The grip level between the two tyres through certain corners is quite noticeable and \u2013 as we saw during winter testing \u2013 the lifespan of the soft tyre could be a talking point. There\u2019s no doubt it\u2019s the tyre for qualifying, but making it last in the race will be a challenge. Overall we\u2019re pleased with the car in terms of pace, high fuel performance and tyre preservation; hopefully we can look forward to a strong weekend ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>By ISN<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shanghai: Kimi Raikkonen set the second fastest time of the first day during the opening sessions for round three of the FIA Formula 1 World Championship; the Chinese Grand Prix.
