Saturday – Practice 3, Kimi keeps flying…sort of!
Raikkonen has been dominant so far at Shanghai, but will reliability be on his side?
Kimi Raikkonen completed his domination of Shanghai practice by
setting the fastest time in the final session, despite stopping on
track in the closing moments.
Having been quickest in both Friday sessions, Raikkonen proceeded to
hold the top spot for most of this morning’s practice as well.
The Ferrari driver’s first run was half a second clear of the
opposition, and although his main rivals closed in during the second
runs, Raikkonen remained on top by 0.026 seconds from Fernando Alonso.
None of the top four managed to improve their times on soft tyres at
the end of the session, despite new fastest times being set in the
first two sectors.
Raikkonen completed his lap first, but then slowed dramatically on the following lap and had to pull off the track at Turn 10.
With no-one else able to improve, his position at the head of the
times remained safe, but the apparent mechanical failure will be a
concern with two hours to go before qualifying.

Friday – Practice 2, Kimi – The Fastest
Kimi led the way at Shanghai, while Hamliton lingered below the top 3
Kimi remains cautious: "A good day, even if the Friday results have to be considered for
what they are, given that we do not know what our main rivals are up
to," said the Ferrari driver, who just edged world champion Fernando
Alonso is both sessions.
"The car quickly proved to be well balanced, but there is still room to improve the handling. The track was very slippery, but luckily, there are plenty of
escape roads that any mistakes don’t cost a driver anything. I’m
expecting a very close fight tomorrow."
And we’re expecting the flying Finn to kick some butt! Meanwhile it seems the FIA were putting on another show again by getting more attention on Lewis Hamilton prior this Chinese GP, where he could become world champion. The BBC report the FIA have decided that he will not receive any penalty after Mark Webber and Sebastien Vettel thought Hamilton’s driving caused the accident between the two in the Japanese Grand Prix last weekend.
