Kimi Raikkonen ensured Ferrari topped the timesheets again as the third day of the second Formula One pre-season test drew to a close at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.

The Finn set the two fastest times of the day, the quickest of which was also the best of the winter so far. His time of one minute, 22.785 seconds, set on the ultrasoft Pirelli tyes, was around half-a-tenth quicker than team-mate Sebastian Vettel's best time from the opening test.

But the lap that really caught the eye was his 1:23.009, set using the soft tyres. Even Mercedes have not yet gone as quickly on the yellow-marked rubber.

Elsewhere, Williams were also impressive on the softs, Haas endured another trying day, Mercedes stuck to lengthy runs and McLaren continued to focus on reliability, rather than outright speed.

The 11 teams chalked up 1,274 laps between them, with 12 drivers taking to the track. Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg again split the day for Mercedes, and both will be back in the W07 on the final day.

Jolyon Palmer, Romain Grosjean and Felipe Massa will also continue for a second day at Renault, Haas and Williams, respectively.

Raikkonen, though, was having his last run in his car this winter, as was Nico Hulkenberg at Force India.

Felipe Nasr of Sauber, Red Bull's Daniil Kvyat, Manor's Pascal Wehrlein, Max Verstappen of Toro Rosso and McLaren's Fernando Alonso were also in action for the last time before the season kicks off in Australia on March 20.

Here's what we learned on the third day.
