Raikkonen and McLaren are the busiest in pre-season testing

NEWS STORY

Although he didn't make his debut until January 23, Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen was the busiest driver during pre-season testing.

The Finn covered 3,986 miles in twenty days of testing, over 500 miles more than his nearest rival, Jenson Button. Fernando Alonso was the third busiest, ahead of Felipe Massa and Giancarlo Fisichella.

Indeed, all the race drivers were kept busy, with Toyota's Franck Montagny being the highest placed test driver, the Frenchman being seventeenth overall.

As far as the teams are concerned, McLaren leads the way, having completed 8,350 miles since testing began in January. However, World Champions Renault weren't far behind having completed 8,305 miles.

Honda was third busiest, ahead of BMW and Ferrari, while Toro Rosso completed a mere 1,245 miles, less than half the mileage of Spyker. Then again, sceptics might say that Red Bull's 5,174 miles of testing went a long way to helping its sister team in Faenza.

In terms of miles completed, Sakhir was the busiest with the teams completing almost 25,000 miles between them during the two recent tests. Barcelona was the second busiest, ahead of Valencia. Ferrari only used Fiorano for one day of outright testing, completing just 72 miles.
