Kimi fährt eigentlich immer zuerst, fällt euch das auf? War die letzten Jahre immer so, dass Kimi am ersten Tag testet. Würd mich mal interessieren, wie die das entscheiden.
ZitatA cold debut for the SF71H with Kimi at the wheel
Montmelò – While Italy is freezing, the Barcelona area is not doing much better, even if the trees are already in blossom here. After a sunny Sunday, which meant that Scuderia Ferrari was able to comfortably complete its Filming Day, the “real” debut for the SF17H took place in plunging temperatures, with rain arriving towards the end of the session. However, by the end of the day, Kimi Raikkonen had completed 80 laps of the Catalunya Circuit, the fastest of them in 1’20”506 on Soft tyres. He worked through the first part of a programme that, over the course of this week, is given over mainly to acquiring data.
“The real problem, the only one today, was the weather,” summarised Kimi. “My first impressions with the new car were OK, but it’s still too early to make any judgement, especially given today’s conditions. These tyres aren’t designed to work at 8 degrees and it was difficult for everyone. As for the rest, our work had nothing to do with lap times and we just ran and changed a few things, trying to understand the car, which doesn’t seem to have any faults. Now we must try and do more kilometres.”
The first long run with the Halo protection fitted over the cockpit went off without any problems. “Compared to the tests we did in previous years, this time the Halo had been conceived as an integral part of the car design, which had not been possible before. I didn’t notice anything different to driving the car without the protection.”
Testing continues tomorrow, with Sebastian Vettel, while it will once again be Kimi’s turn on Wednesday, with Seb then rounding off the first winter test.
Auto schön rot...aber das mit dem Halo sieht ja fürchterlich aus...was soll das denn für Schutz bringen...sind doch Öffnungen drin oder seh ich das falsch? Dort kann doch auch was durchfliegen oder nicht ? F1 ist halt keine Kaffeefahrt...im Radsport fahren se ja auch nicht mit Stützrädern
Ich finde die Halo nicht so schlimm. Die Fahrer sagen, es stört sie nicht beim Fahren. Und für mich ist alles willkommen, was den Fahrern mehr Sicherheit beschert. Ich denke wir gewöhnen uns dran.
Kommen wir zum "Testtag" heute (der keiner war). Schneeeinbruch in Barcelona. Rote Flagge bis ca. 13 Uhr, aber dann war die Strecke noch kalt und nass. Deshalb war kaum Fahrbetrieb. Ferrari hat ca. 15.30 Uhr zusammengepackt, Kimi hat keine einzige Runde gedreht. Mist!
ZitatTesting wiped out by bad weather. Ferrari and Kimi take a break
Montmelò –Meteorologically speaking, spring starts tomorrow, but it seems that doesn’t apply to the Catalunya Circuit. The third day of testing was wiped out…following snowfall this morning. And even when it turned to rain in the afternoon, temperatures never reached the sort of numbers required to run a Formula 1 car. Air temperature just crept over two degrees with the track a fraction more. Come the afternoon, Kimi Raikkonenn and Scuderia Ferrari took the only reasonable decision, namely to write off the day, which under the current regulations cannot be recovered later. Tomorrow, Sebastian Vettel will drive as planned, to round off the first test session. So the SF71H spent the whole day in the garage. There was no point in venturing out, because with such low temperatures, even the Wet tyres would not work properly and furthermore, running would not generate any worthwhile date on how the car was performing. “Today, it felt more like being in Finland than Spain,” quipped Kimi. “And everyone knows there’s no Formula 1 in my country.” He will be back at the wheel next week, with the T2 session getting underway on Tuesday 6th March, running for four day. This time, the Scuderia Ferrari programme has Sebastian driving on the 6th and 8th, with Kimi getting his turn on Wednesday 7th and Friday 9th, that being the final day of winter testing.
Zitat von nirak im Beitrag #7Na, was für ein Glück für Vettel das er natürlich eute fahren kann
Das hab ich mir auch gedacht...damit hat Vettel schon wieder deutlich mehr Testrunden als Kimi.
Naja, da kann ja maximal das Wetter was für, oder? Kimi ist am späten Mittwochnachmittag schon Heim geflogen, Minttu hat sich abends schon über seine Anwesenheit gefreut.
