Formula One's reigning world champion, who also leads this year's drivers' standings by three points, edged the morning session by just 0.050secs from Ferrari team-mate Felipe Massa.

In the afternoon's 90-minute session, when the teams run heavier fuel loads, Raikkonen topped the timesheets again ahead of Renault duo Nelson Piquet and Fernando Alonso.

The Williams of Kazuki Nakajima was fourth in the pecking order, with Massa - winner last time out in Bahrain - in fifth.

As in the morning, David Coulthard was again eighth, with Lewis Hamilton down in 11th in his McLaren and looking far from happy with his afternoon's work.

Hamilton had been third fastest behind the Ferraris at the end of the morning session, but was 0.750secs down on Raikkonen, with even Force India's Adrian Sutil ahead of him in 10th.

There was little joy for Hamilton's team-mate Heikki Kovalainen as he suffered a gearbox oil pump problem in the first session, and an accelerator pedal steering issue in the second.

The latter forced the engine to automatically cut out, leaving him stranded on the track after completing just eight laps.
