Only short- I´m We had a great, great time. We were in a suite direct above the Ferrari box. So we could follow Kimi closely. We had 3 times in the paddock und saw him a few times. One moment he was in such a rush that he nearly collide with a tyres trolly - only to avoid to get in contact with waiting persons My pictures from him are not good because he is always running and hiding behind his shades and cap. But we catch Mr Allison. He sign a picture for our dear Greece. We saw Seb too. He started to run away from people too, must be Kimis bad influence Tomorrow we will see Barcelona, on saturday we are back at the track. Pictures when we are at home. The internet in the hotel is not so fast.
Andrea, your post put a smile on my face on a not-so-good day for me so thank you very much.
I'm so happy for you gals, enjoy your sightseeing tomorrow. And be careful with your belongings, I know you gals are not used to do this. But turists have to be careful there, I know for experience.
About Kimi's rush to avoid fans if he only knew how much time we invest in him, he would at least say hi
But if he doesn't, we will still like him anyway so... whatever

quoteBarcelona F1 test: Ferrari to try aero upgrades on Friday By Mitchell Adam Thursday, February 26th 2015, 19:00 GMT
Ferrari is set to introduce new aerodynamic components on Friday, as it gradually upgrades its aero package during Barcelona's final pre-season test.
Kimi Raikkonen set the sixth-fastest time for the team on the opening day, having spent the bulk of his 80 laps on the hard and medium Pirellis.
While new components on the car for Thursday were minimal, Raikkonen is keen to run the updates on Saturday as he alternates days with Sebastian Vettel.
"More or less the car is the same," he said of developments compared to last week's test. "We can get some, but not for today, hopefully for tomorrow.
"I think it's not too bad, really, how the car behaves.
"There are certain things that we want to improve - and we want more grip obviously, always, to go faster - but sometimes it's a bit tricky here with the conditions that we are having.
"If the tyres don't work - one lap they work, next they don't - it changes a lot."
Raikkonen is content with the visible progress Ferrari has made after enduring a troubled 2014 season, especially as he knows there is more to come.
"We've made a good step from last year. It's hard to say from testing, but two weeks will tell us once we're going in Australia," he said.
"Overall it's a good a feeling and we still have one day to put all of the things we have learned together and hopefully we will be happy with everything.
"Obviously a laptime would be good, but we'll see in a few weeks in the first race where we are.
"It's not an issue, as long as you've got a good feeling on every fuel load you run it's usually OK."
And in tests Mercedes finally puts on softs and BUM! purple all over and a 1m22.792s lap goes on top of them all.
While Vettel stands 4th and with 126 laps and counting...

Definitely agree with that. I just hope Ferrari can compete for podium places with Williams and Red Bull.
