F1 journalist Dan Knutson in Barcelona: Kimi Raikkonen completed the first 15 laps of his race distance on the super soft tyres, did 18 on the softs, and then switched to the medium compound Pirellis. It looked like he was doing the same thing Ferrari teammate Sebastian Vettel did in his race simulation yesterday and going the last half of the 66-lap run on the same set of tyres.
But that all ended after 12 laps on the mediums when he spun his Ferrari because of an apparent mechanical problem, stopped on track and brought out the red flags.
