On the final day of in-season test at the Silverstone circuit today, Kimi Raikkonen was quickest ahead of Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly after showing strong one lap pace for the Ferrari team.
However, Mercedes protégé Esteban Ocon held the lead for the majority of the day and impressed on his long stints but Raikkonen’s best effort was eventually 0.6s quicker.
But it was Kimi Raikkonen who was quickest with a lap time of a 1:30.665. Raikkonen's time was also two tenths faster than the Q3 run that saw him qualify sixth at the British GP ahead of Esteban Ocon in second place and Pierre Gasly in third place.
Nikita Mazepin ended the day in fourth place ahead of Stoffel Vandoorne in fifth place and Valtteri Bottas in sixth place. However, Bottas was focusing on longer runs for most of the day before rising to sixth when fitted with the radical double-decker rear wing, last seen in the previous test at Barcelona (though he was two seconds off the leader).
Santino Ferrucci ended the day for Haas in seventh place ahead of Jolyon Palmer in eighth place; with the Renault driver leading the field through the morning session before slipping down the timesheet.
F1 rookie Sergio Sette Camara had his first experience in the Toro Rosso and ended the day in ninth place. There were no red flags on day two, though the 18-year-old Brazilian very nearly span into the wall on the pit-straight. Back to back GP2 winner Jordan King tested for Manor and finished in tenth place ahead of current Manor driver Pascal Wehrlein was again testing 2017 Pirelli tyre compounds and materials in the 2014 Mercedes car and ended the day in eleventh place.
