"Kimi Raikkonen's headline laptimes caught the attention, as he ended both sessions in second place and exactly 0.373 seconds off the fastest Mercedes.
But it is the Finn's long-run on medium tyres in the Friday afternoon that suggests the car potentially has the pace to race with F1's dominant force.
Raikkonen completed a run of nine flying laps on the medium-compound Pirelli, setting an average laptime of 1m45.080s.
By comparison, Lewis Hamilton averaged 1m45.070s over six laps and Nico Rosberg 1m45.313s over seven laps.
Even more impressive is when you look at comparable length runs, by taking Raikkonen's averages over six and seven laps respectively to compare to the two Mercedes drivers.
Over these adjusted runs, Raikkonen was on average one tenth faster than Hamilton and three tenths quicker than Rosberg."
Raikkonen's long run times on the mediums in P2 show some progress.
