Let's look at the facts (well sort of!)
Barcelona lap record 1m 21.6 (2008 Kimi)
Fastest in testing 1m 22.03 (Kimi)

Autosport reckon Kimi did 65 lap race sim
"15:25 Raikkonen recently finished his race simulation, covering just one lap less than a Barcelona grand prix distance.

15:26 The Finn started with 12 laps on soft, averaging 1m30.780s. Stint two was 11 laps on softs, then 19 on hards, averaging 1m29.886s across those runs, then finally 16 laps on softs with a 1m29.156s average. About 7-8s off a qualifying simulation pace." but...

12+11+19+16 = 58 in my book but total time = 1h 26m 52.436

A/sport reckon he had a 1.8 sec drop off per set so let's assume the missing 8 laps were ave 1m30.8. = 12m 06.4
test race time 1h 38m 58.836 approx
2011 race time 1h 39m 03.301 (Vettel)
2010 race time 1h 35m 44.1 (Webber)
2009 race time 1h 37m 19.202 (Jenson/Brawn)
2008 race time 1h 38m 19.05 (Kimi)

You could say he's in the ball park ...or not
