Raikkonen breaks Valencia lap record!

Its heating up guys !!!! This guy is for real and DC will have a hands full with this guy on board !

Kimi Raikkonen has broken the lap record in Valencia this morning (Thursday), in only his second week at the wheel of a McLaren.
The young Finn overhauled his new team mate David Coulthard yesterday by just 0.017 seconds, on brand new Michelin development tyres.

Today he set a time of 1.12.593 after 36 laps in the morning, beating the existing lap record by nearly two tenths of a second.

Raikkonen only has one year's experience in the sport so far, at the wheel of a Sauber, and before this had only competed in 23 car races, in formula renault.


He had been hailed as a special talent last season, but a slight drop-off in the final three races of the year left some insiders doubtful as to how he would perform at McLaren.

This sizzling time is likely to prove any doubters wrong.

Testing continues until the break for lunch at 13.00 local time, and then resumes again at 14.00.

While I beleive that Kimi is a great talent. I think this may be more the car then driver. McLaren is really going all out this year after last years awful showing. All the better for the fans. If Kimi is this good, the rest of the drivers better look out, including Schuey.

He was good in a crappy car last year and most importantly was able to stay out of trouble and finish races. I think he will be great.

Good news about the new tires-- I bet BMW will be running the same tire.

OOOOH! THis is gonna shape up to be an AWESOME season. If McLaren can get their reliability issues up to par (even ferrari par!), then we're in for a REAL Treat. Imagine seeing Schuey, Coulthard, Raikkonen AND Montoya running for the 1 spot...WOW
