Lotus driver focuses on negatives after Australian Grand Prix
Kimi Raikkonen admitted his return to Formula One at the Australian Grand Prix was "far from ideal", although Lotus boss Eric Boullier was much more upbeat.
After spending two years away in rallying, Raikkonen started down in 18th at Albert Park following a breakdown in communication with his team in the first part of qualifying.The 2007 World Champion fared better during the race, making his way through the field to sit in 10th position with half a lap remaining.And a last-lap crash involving Williams' Pastor Maldonado played havoc with the field allowing Raikkonen to emerge with seventh place, but the Finn was still disappointed with his weekend overall.
"Yesterday we made some mistakes which cost us quite badly so it could easily have been better in the race," he said."I made a good start, but then there was an accident in front of me at the first turn, so we lost a few places there as I had to almost stop and move on to the grass to avoid it."That made the race harder again as we had the speed, but a lot of traffic to get through, so when you look at all these things we could have finished in a much better position. - http://www1.skysports.com
