Kimi Raikkonen says nothing was learnt by his Ferrari team in the second free p🎐ractice washout for the Japanese Grand Prix in order to save its wet weather tyres for the remainder of the race weekend.

The Finnish driver was the first to venture out on track in FP2 after the🍃 start was delayed due t♎o the torrential rain at Suzuka but only completed an out-lap as Ferrari opted to save his wet tyre allocation for the rest of the weekend with forecasts pointing to a wet FP3 and qualifying.

As a result, Raikkonen says no🗹thing was gained from the second session but isn’t too concerned as it was a similar pattern for his F1 rivals while he was able to get g🌟ood running in the dry morning session.

“We didn’t try to learn anythღing in FP2 because, obviously, we’re a bit limited on the tyres, so in case if it’s wet tomorrow in qualifying we’ll have to save the full wets so that’s what we’ve done,” Raikkonen said. “We expected to be a wet afternoon a🅠nd we did more laps in the first practice and it was OK, everything felt fine.

“We෴ had to try this and if tomorrow is wet we’ll do some laps in the morning.”

Raikkonen ended FP1 fourth-fastest with a 1m 29.638s – half a second off of Ferrari team-mate and timesheet-topperꦚ Sebastian Vettel.
