From Ferrari
The final test prior to the start of the 2014 Formula 1 season for Scuderia Ferrari and the other ten Formula 1 teams gets underway tomorrow, Thursday.
Once again, it takes place in Bahrain, an ideal location because of its temperate climate, similar to that which the drivers and teams can expect to encounter at many of the opening rounds of the 2014 season.
Tomorrow and Saturday, Kimi Raikkonen will be on driving duty for Ferrari, with Fernando Alonso at the wheel on Friday and Sunday. Testing runs from 9 in the morning to 5.30 pm, with a 30 minute lunch break at 1 o'clock.
The Scuderia Ferrari's work schedule is already mapped out.
These four days will see a continuation of the work of shaking down and fine tuning all the components on the car, with particular attention focusing on the new power unit, which will be signed off on Friday in accordance with the FIA's homologation process.
In the mornings, the team will also work on doing runs to check all the new systems, as well as continuing to look at set-up.
The afternoon will see some long run tests, while monitoring all the elements of the F14 T, as well as evaluating the how the car works with the Pirelli tires.
