Ferrari had hoped for higher mileage in first F1 test - Raikkonen

Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen topped three of the four days between them, ending the week first and third respectively on the combined times.

However, Ferrari's 353 laps of the Barcelona circuit fell well short of the 675 achieved by Mercedes with Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg.

"We would have liked more laps but that's part of testing," said Raikkonen, who was fastest on day four following a run on the new ultra-soft tyres.

"With a new car, there are certain things you need to try and test.

"You have to accept you have to check things and it takes time. It's better to do that.

"If there are some issues or some things to change, it's up to us to push so we are in the right position when we start racing."

Raikkonen lost the majority of his first morning of running in the new SF16-H while Ferrari carried out fuel system checks, and while Mercedes has already tried several key new parts on its W07, Ferrari's test programme is still in its "early days".

"We haven't really done an awful lot of set-up work but the baseline is normal," said Raikkonen.

"It's where we want it to be, and I'm sure we can improve it some more.

"There are a lot of things to try at test two but the car is definitely a step up from what we had last year."
