Raikkonen also fastest on final day at Paul Ricard

If the test results this week in Magny-Cours represent the true potential of the Formula 1 teams then McLaren is favourite for Monaco, while Ferrari is favourite to win in Canada. Kimi Raikkonen was once again the fastest driver at Paul Ricard.

On Tuesday and Wednesday Formula 1 teams were testing at Paul Ricard at a Monaco-like track lay-out while on Thursday and Friday the track was changed to a lay-out like the one in Canada.

On Friday Kimi Raikkonen set the fastest lap time. Renault driver Giancarlo Fisichella surprised a few by setting the second fastest time today.

Super Aguri's new test driver James Rossiter was busy for his new employer. The Briton completed 131 laps at the French track.
