After team-mate Sebastian Vettel set the fastest time in testing, breaking the unnofficial lap record in the process, Kimi Raikkonen was warned the rest of the field by saying Ferrari "can go faster".
Raikkonen's best was only a tenth away from Vettel's record breaking lap as Ferrari enter the season with theoretically the quickest one-lap pace in the field.
However, these times can be misleading, as Raikkonen warned.
The Finn told the media: "I'm sure if we want to go faster, we can, but it doens't mean anything here (in testing).
"In two weeks we will know where everybody is. Until then, we are only guessing, like we were before testing started.

"I think overall it's a strong package. Obviously there are things to improve, and that's normal with any car, even if you win races.
"But it's very reliable, it seems to work in a pretty easy way."
Raikkonen is entering his fifth season in his second spell at Ferrari but is yet to win a since since rejoining the team in 2014.
He scored 7 podiums last season in finishing fourth in the drivers' standings.
