Lotus F1 driver Kimi Raikkonen tested on Friday, a GP3 car in Barcelona.
Raikkonen offered his know-how as a favor to the Finnish Koiranen GP team.
- I wanted to test the GP3/13 car because my friend Afa Heikkinen has a team in this series, and I am closely following their progress and results since the beginning of the season. I was interested to see how the car behaves, and it was fun to drive. The behavior of the car had a few problems, but we were able to solve most of them. GP3/13 is a very good tool for young drivers, especially when you need to learn how to care for the tires, just like in Formula One, Raikkonen commented on the GP3 Series website.
Raikkonen drove on the Circuit de Catalunya on Friday, a total of 58 laps and 270 kilometers.
The GP3 Series and the tire manufacturer Pirelli's official test session examined the tires and how they behaved.
-Kimi's experience and the feedback was invaluable and helped us to understand better what you need to do to make the car work better for overtaking next season, the GP3 Series technical director Didier Perrin said.
-We want to thank Kimi for testing with us and Koiranen GP for making this possible.
