Raikkonen fastest on final Belgian day

Kimi Raikkonen set the fastest time on Thursday at Spa-Francorchamps. The Ferrari driver took over duties from Felipe Massa for the last out of a three-day test session. The Finn was right ahead of Robert Kubica and Fernando Alonso. Christian Klien was in action for the Spyker F1 team.

The third and final day of testing at the renewed Spa-Francorchamps track began at a damp track. The track didn't get dry until lunch time and thus the fastest laps were completed at the end of the day.

Today's test session was stopped three times. Fisichella, Webber and Klien caused the three red flags when they had to pull over their car.

Christian Klien completed a full day of testing with the Spyker team. Honda's test and reserve driver was hired by the team to gather data for the upcoming German Grand Prix. Klien is also on Spyker's shortlist as a possible replacement for Christijan Albers.
