Love it! Will be interesting to see how the rest of testing evolves. I read that his time was faster than any of the testing laps there in 2011 but hard to know if that means anything yet.

I thought testing was all about sandbagging?

Good to have Formula 1 back in action (even though at this point only testing)!

They're all doing their own thing so nobody should make a lot of of the test times, but here they are.
Regardless, it's good to see Kimi ain't that "rusty" after a long hiatus and also that this year's cars & tires are quick (again) no matter how much FIA tries to make them slow.
(Fastest time in last year's Jerez test was 1.19,832 by Barichello).

Unofficial Tuesday test times from Jerez:

1. Kimi Raikkonen, Lotus, 1:19.670, 73 Laps
2. Paul di Resta, Force India, 1:19.772, 101 Laps
3. Nico Rosberg, Mercedes, 1:20.219, 56 Laps
4. Mark Webber, Red Bull, 1:20.496, 53 Laps
5. Daniel Ricciardo, Toro Rosso, 1:20.694, 57 Laps
6. Michael Schumacher, Mercedes, 1:20.794, 41 Laps
7. Kamui Kobayashi, Sauber, 1:21.353, 106 Laps
8. Jenson Button, McLaren, 1:21.530, 60 Laps
9. Felipe Massa, Ferrari, 1:22.815, 69 Laps
10. Heikki Kovalainen, Caterham, 1:23.178, 28 Laps
11. Pastor Maldonado, Williams, 1:23.371, 25 Laps
12. Pedro de la Rosa, HRT, 1:23.676, 44 Laps

Quite the opposite. Set a quick time on low tanks, grab the headlines...

Glad Kimi's back.

Very true. I read somewhere that Lotus had quite a few 'guests' at the test also.

.2 better than the best in 2011... Barichello in the Williams... (honest, fastest lap in testing for Jerez in 2011 was RB in THAT car...)
