BAHRAIN GP – ALONSO ON MERCEDES’ HEELS, RAIKKONEN 6TH
Sakhir, 4 April
Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen were third and sixth respectively in first free practice in Bahrain. Fernando did 17 laps at the wheel of his F14 T with a best of 1.37.953, four tenths off the pace of fastest man, Lewis Hamilton who did a 1.37.502 with his Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg second. Raikkonen’s best lap was a 1.38.783, although he only managed 12 laps.
Finn hit a kerb very hard and had to pit so the floor of the car could be checked. Air temperature was 25 with the track at 45, but that’s likely to change significantly in the second session, which will run in the dusk, seeing the floodlights brought into play for the first time here.
The session starts at the same time as tomorrow’s qualifying and Sunday’s race, so it will be a useful exercise.
