Raikkonen dominates practice in Spain as Hamilton struggles

KIMI RAIKKONEN yesterday gave further credence to the suggestion he will be the man to beat in tomorrow’s Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona.

Formula One’s world champion, who also leads this year’s drivers’ standings by three points, was fastest in both practice sessions at the Circuit de Catalunya yesterday.

Ferrari star Raikkonen shaved the morning period by just 0.050secs from teammate Felipe Massa as the Italian team totally dominated their rivals early on.
