First F1 sounds of 2012: Kimi on track

by


First festival of sandbagging testing day in Jerez saw Kimi Raikkonen set the fastest time. Granted it's meaningless but his time shows the Kimster still has it in him to burn Pirelli rubber as well as everyone else in the field and that can only be good news.

Red Bull had the highest top speed and people are still talking about that nose slit which nobody quite believes is just for "driver cooling" like Newey has claimed.

1 - Kimi Raikkonen (Lotus E20-Renault) - 1'19"670 - 75 laps
2 - Paul Di Resta (Force India VJM05-Mercedes) - 1'19"772 - 101
3 - Nico Rosberg (Mercedes MGP-W02) - 1'20"219 - 56
4 - Mark Webber (Red Bull RB8-Renault) - 1'20"496 - 54
5 - Daniel Ricciardo (Toro Rosso STR7-Ferrari) - 1'20"694 - 57
6 - Michael Schumacher (Mercedes MGP-W02) - 1'20"794 - 42
7 - Kamui Kobayashi (Sauber C31-Ferrari) - 1'21"353 - 106
8 - Jenson Button (McLaren MP4/27-Mercedes) - 1'21"530 - 62
9 - Felipe Massa (Ferrari F2012) - 1'22"815 - 69
10 - Heikki Kovalainen - (Caterham CT01-Renault) - 1'23"178 - 28
11 - Pastor Maldonado (Williams FW34-Cosworth) - 1'23"371 - 25
12 - Pedro De La Rosa (HRT F111-Cosworth) - 1'23"676 - 44

    love the vortices that are coming off the tail wing at 0:43. It look like a fighter jet or something.

    Engine seems to rev rather high... 20k+ RPMs?
    What's up with the banner Axis?
