Raikkonen does 97 laps in the laboratory car
Yas Marina, 29 November – Darkness falls on the Abu Dhabi circuit: two days after Sebastian Vettel stood on the podium here, this was the final on-track part of the 2016 season. At the wheel of an SF15-T, modified to simulate next year’s aerodynamic downforce levels, Kimi Raikkonen completed 97 laps, as part of Pirelli’s development programme for 2017.
The session ran from 9 in the morning to around 4.30pm and Kimi tried various combinations of tyre compound and construction, ending the session with some longer runs.
Also taking part in the test were the Mercedes and Red Bull Racing teams.
