FORMULA One 'Iceman' Kimi Raikkonen lapped fastest for Lotus in the desert heat yesterday after Ferrari had set the early practice pace for the Bahrain Grand Prix in Manama.
The Finn, 2007 world champion for Ferrari and chasing his 21st successive race in the points, sped to a best time of one minute 34.154 seconds in the afternoon session when track temperatures hovered around 42 degrees Celsius.
Brazilian Felipe Massa kept Ferrari teammate Fernando Alonso off the top in the morning with a lap of 1:34.487.
The Spaniard, winner of the third race of the season in China last weekend, was 0.077 slower. The Ferrari pair focused on long runs in the afternoon, one on the medium tires and the other on hards.
Germany's Nico Rosberg was third fastest in the morning for Mercedes, which had Lewis Hamilton only 13th, with Red Bull's triple champion and overall leader Sebastian Vettel taking that place after lunch.
Opposition groups demanding more political freedoms in the Gulf kingdom have announced plans to protest as practice got under way. But there was no evidence of unrest around the track.
