Ok, found it - the conversation went like this:

How does that sound?

I'm not sure if they really are, but the "Massa" thread sort of lingers there still:

Yep, as have Massa, and Gene. In fact, the only driver I don't remember breaking lap records at Fiorano and Mugello in Ferrari testing is Eddie Irvine! ;)

Did Irvine actually ever do much testing at Mugello and Fiorano?

"Some people have been making something of the fact that, mostly, I have been fractionally quicker than Kimi, but I do not see it as anything significant. For sure, testing is testing and the racing is racing. But I can say that I am very happy with the way things went. I was very familiar with the car and I know the team personnel and how they all work and everything was going pretty well. Kimi on the other hand was still learning and getting to know the team. Now we will see what happens in Melbourne, as this is the moment that the answer comes."

Yep, he's downplaying his chances to increase the pressure on KR, not bad at all.

Yeah, soon we'll get the answer, who is a better psychologist, Shalafi or ioan. :)
