The 2008 is GO, GO, GO!!!

Today marked the first day of the 2008 F1 season.

Kimi Raikkonen posted the fasted time in the first session with a time of 1'26"461, a full half a second faster than one of his main rivals for the season, Lewis Hamilton. Kimi showed steady progress throughout the session by consistently going faster bit by bit. Kimi's teammate was 3rd fastest in the first session.

The second session saw Lewis Hamilton reaching the top of the timesheets, but with a time of 1'26"599. Over a tenth slower than Kimi. Kimi finished the session 6th, some 1.6 seconds off Hamilton's pace. Massa was also considerably slower which may indicate that Ferrari were testing race set-ups, etc.

As always, we cannot read too much out of the Friday sessions. The real action and indications of who is where in terms of pace starts tomorrow with the final practice session and the qualifying session.
