Its me or Ferrari has problems to make the US work? because the gap between the SS and US is quite small.

Raikkonen has posted a stunning time of 1.23.009 on Softs which is 2 steps harder than ultra softs and about half a tenth up on Rosberg's time. Have we underestimated Ferrari?

Update: Kimi also smashed the fastest time of testing so far with a 1.22.765 on Ultra softs... but the time on softs is really eye catching!

no bad, i'm suprised to see 1.22.765 with US and 1.23.009 on S.
only 0.300s ?
Well the US probably losses its optimal grip halfway trough this track, but in Monaco it will deliver much more

Is Kimi even refueling between this runs on different tires? Impressive time on SOFTs.

you're right.
it's really bad thing Kimi had traffic with SS this morning, i think they test tyres with low fuel, and i really apreciated to see the time he can make with this quality of tyres.

Hulk time on SS is just 3 tenth slower than Kimi. Any thoughts on that.

I was not implying that should not use a protection system, I say that aesthetically is terrible and I dont know how it can affect driver´s vision. I clearly prefer Mercedes´s third option.

Cannot say anything, until we know amount of fuel... Nevertheless it is possitive.
He had some fuel left, because he made more laps, but the lap after 1:23.009 was more then second slower.
I am more suprised that time on ultrasoft is so slow (I would expect 1,5s faster compared to soft, once again, the may be running with more fuel with ultra soft.)
