<p>
Kimi Raikkonen continued to set the pace at the
Sakhir circuit in Bahrain, where Ferrari and Toyota are testing this
week.
</p>
<p>
Helped by improved weather conditions, with nearly no wind, the Finn managed a best time of 1:30.595 after carrying out a Grand
Prix simulation with the Ferrari 2008 challenger F2008<br />
</p>
<p>
Raikkonen's best lap was over 2 seconds faster than the pole position time of last year's Grand Prix.
</p>
<span>Ferrari’s veteran test driver Luca Badoer was
once again second on the timesheets, on a 1m32.230s, and spent the
session focusing on general development of the F2008.</span>
