Kimi Raikkonen has put the first miles on Ferrari's 2017 Formula 1 car, the SF70H, during a filming run at the team's Fiorano test circuit.

Shortly after Ferrari presented its new challenger with a video launch on Friday morning, Raikkonen took to the track to begin shaking down the car he and Sebastian Vettel will race this season.

The two drivers will share the 100km of permitted filming day mileage evenly, with Raikkonen getting the first run .

Sauber completed its filming day at Barcelona on Wednesday, while Toro Rosso had its first run with its yet-to-be-launched 2017 car at Misano disrupted by an engine problem.

Mercedes also completed its shakedown at Silverstone on Thursday on the day of its launch, while Renault is running at Barcelona at Friday.
