Kimi Raikkonen quickest as Ferraris fight back in FP3

Ferrari turned the tables on Mercedes in the final practice session for the Spanish Grand Prix after Kimi Raikkonen set the fastest time of the weekend on Saturday morning.

After Mercedes held the upper hand throughout Friday practice, Ferrari upped its game in FP3 as Raikkonen found a full second in performance on his FP2 run. Raikkonen, who appears to be experiencing a return to form this weekend in Spain, was 0.242s clear of Ferrari teammate Sebastian Vettel at the top of the timsheets and 0.381s clear of Lewis Hamilton in the fastest Mercedes.

After problems on Friday afternoon, Ferrari has yet to rid Vettel's car of all its gremlins and he completed just seven laps in FP3.
