Lewis Hamilton leads the way after opening practice
The Brit came out on top in both Practice One and Practice Two on Friday morning, trailed by Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas in the first session, and Red Bull's Max Verstappen in the second.
It was a tougher day for Raikkonen's four-time-champion teammate Sebastian Vettel, who was more than a half-second off the pace in FP2 down in fifth position, a disappointing run he later downplayed. The team's day was spoiled, however, when a three-place grid penalty was handed to Daniel Ricciardo for driving too slowly under a red flag.
In 2018, however, the Red Bull driver feels a record of frustration could end with a long-awaited podium at Albert Park on Sunday. It wasn't an ideal session for the Finn who took an excursion through the gravel at Turn 4 in the opening minutes after getting into a tangle with a slow moving Kimi Raikkonen.
Hamilton said: "The tyres definitely didn't seem to have the same issue that we had in Barcelona where they were blistering, so it felt a lot more normal".
The F1 season returns this weekend with the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne. "It's not yet where I want it to be, a bit of work to do, but if we get that straight it should be fine", he said. This season is expected to see a resurgent Red Bull Racing thanks to improvements to the Renault power unit the team relies on, so hopefully the competition is even closer than last season.

"We actually tried to chase the balance a bit because I didn't feel very comfortable yet", he acknowledged. You always have to move on to something more hard.
The teams were more lethargic hitting the track in second practice, with Kevin Magnussen the first to venture out four minutes in, but flying laps kicked in nearly immediately afterwards.
"We don't know where the other cars are on fuel and everything, and we don't know what engine mode people are running, so that is a question mark". "Obviously I've had more time to think about it than Lewis, more than one winter", he said, his last title coming in 2013. I think we're in a very close group with some other teams, and the conditions will make things a bit more hard for everyone.
"I'd had good sectors before, but I'd never - maybe the first lap of qualifying - but after that I hadn't put them together", he added. We lost a little bit of track time in the first 45 minutes of FP1 but had a very good run after that and got some good learning from the vehicle, which was the most important thing after winter testing.
"As I said before, if it's close then it's good for everyone because it means that you're always sort of in range and you can do something".
