Kimi Raikkonen set the fastest time in the first day of Winter Testing for the 2012. The Lotus driver, who is returning to F1 after two years out of the sport, beat Paul Di Resta and Nico Rosberg. The Mercedes drivers of Rosberg and Schumacher were in the 2011 car, but all other 10 drivers where in new cars. Mark Webber could only manage the fourth fastest time in his Red Bull, while Jenson Button was eighth, 0.3 seconds faster than Felipe Massa.

To make the Winter Testing that little bit more exciting, we have the Mock Winter Testing Driver Championship, and the Mock Winter Testing Constructors Championship to keep us entertained.
