I don't think he did otherwise his time would have been removed.

Motorsport have corrected Lando's tyre to C4, is that accurate? Sky had also said it was C5 when the time was set.
Q: (Stefano Mancini – La Stampa) Kimi, will you help Vettel to win his championship this year?
Kimi Raikkonen: I can only drive one car, obviously.

Not sure, Autosport said they thought it was C5 but hard to tell, although they also said the Toro Rosso was definately on a C5 and that's been marked up as a C4 :wtf:

I saw on twitter that he went out on a run on c5's, not sure if it was the same run that got him quickest though

I will repeat again. Why wasn't his time removed if he did that?

I know that you're joking, but last year everyone cut the final chicane multiple times, and the fia deleted the times quickly after

Fernando did a 1:16xxx after setting his quickest lap last year, but it was cancelled for cutting the chicane...

I don't think the C5 is worth much more than a couple of tenths here at the moment, the track just chews it up if you put too much load through it.
