Kimi Raikkonen ended the final day of pre-season testing fastest with a time of 1:22.030, which also puts him quickest over the four days.
The Lotus driver also completed 121 laps in the E20. After a disappointing Saturday, this mileage will go some way to ending Lotus’s test on a positive.
Fernando Alonso pleased his home fans with the second quickest lap of the day, a 1:22.250, just over two tenths slower than the Finn.
Williams split their time between Pastor Maldonado and Bruno Senna, with the latter coming in second, whilst Maldonado finished ninth, over a second slower than his teammate.
The majority of the grid focused on race simulations in the afternoon.
Meanwhile, Sebastian Vettel only completed 23 laps after suffering a gearbox issue in the morning and afternoon.
