Ferrari 'media blackout' set to end today

Ferrari's 'media blackout' is set to end today, following the third day of pre-season testing. The team also admitted that Kimi Raikkonen is suffering from the flu, but that won't stop him from climbing into the car for pre-season.

The news comes from the team's spokesperson Alberto Antonini, amid the teams proposed 'media blackout' which is rumoured to be broken on today during the third day of testing.

The Finnish broadcaster MTV reports that Sebastian Vettel will finally speak to the press in Barcelona on Wednesday, with Raikkonen following suit on Thursday.

However, it is understood that team boss Maurizio Arrivabene has no plans to talk to the media.: "It is no mystery (why)," Antonini explained. "We want the drivers to concentrate fully on driving. We really have a lot of work to do."
