Kimi Raikkonen completed Ferrari's pre season testing on Friday, the end of his second day's work behind the wheel of the Maranello based squad's new 2017 contender., the SF70H.

The Finn completed a total of 111 laps, during a programme that included a race simulation.

However, his attempt was interrupted at about 4pm by an electrical problem, when he was still about 15 laps from the “chequered flag”.

Having been brought back to the pits, the Ferrari went out again with just under 20 minutes left of the day.

“There's a good feeling with this car and that's the most important thing. We have been reliable for almost all of these days of testing and that is another good sign of the great work the team has done over the winter," Kimi said. "We are starting from a stronger base than last year: but it's really too early to say how fast the car is compared to the others."

"Perhaps even Melbourne won't give a 100 per cent precise picture of the situation, because the first race is always a bit unusual. We might have to wait until China. Either way I'd like to thank everyone in the team, because they have always managed to step in and sort out all the small problems that testing is supposed to resolve.”

Over the four days of testing this week, the SF70H has completed a total of 488 laps in the hands of both Kimi and Seb, equal to 2271.64km.
