RAIKKONEN ROLLS ON IN BAHRAIN

Kimi Raikkonen set the pace in Bahrain testing while the luckless Felipe Massa's was hampered by technical problems.

The World Champion completed 66 laps and set a benchmark time of 1:30.914.

His team-mate Massa managed 13 fewer laps as a result of a hydraulic problem.

The Brazilian's best time was two tenths off the pace set by Raikkonen.

Toyota focused on optimising the TF108's cooling system as temperatures soared into the mid-30s.

Jarno Trulli set the best time for the Japanese constructor. The Italian rounded the Sakhir circuit in 1:32.382 - about half a second clear of team-mate Timo Glock.
