Kimi to debut 2014 Ferrari at Jerez

The Finn will then hand over testing duties to Fernando Alonso for the final two days of the test.

Ferrari’s 2014 car will be named on Friday, before being unveiled to the world during an online launch on Saturday afternoon.

Good choice to run Kimi first. He has not driven a Ferrari since 2009, so his input would be invaluable. Also, his mellifluous driving style will suit the new 1.6 turbo, so feedback to a more aggressive Alonso would be critical.
