Kimi Raikkonen says his 2017 Formula 1 campaign was "far from what I wanted" after endur꧋ing his fourth straight season without a race win, with Ferrari missing out on both titles.

Ferrari entered the year with an edge over Mercedes, allowing Sebastian Vettel to lead th🌟e drivers' championship right the way up to the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, taking four wins through the opening half of the year.

While Vettel led Ferrari's charge befor𝔍e tailing off and losing out in the drivers' t🀅itle race to Lewis Hamilton, Raikkonen was unable to match his teammate's form, failing to take a single race win through the season so far.

With one race to go in Abu Dhabi this weekend, Raikkonen offered an honest, brutal assessment of his 𒐪season, admitting it had not met his expectations after a strong off-season.

"You know what happened. It is far from what I wanted, but it is where we ended up," 🅷Raikkonen said.

"That is how i♏t goes. There is one race to go.🔯 We'll try to make the best out of it and then obviosuly start next year.

"There were some good races, some not good races where w♓e haven't finished, but that is part of racing."

Mercedes has walked away with both titles in 2017 after clinching the constructors' championship three races ago, despite team executive Niki💧 Lauda claiming t♊he German marque had a slower car than Ferrari all year long.

"I think we have had a good car," Raikkonen꧑ said in response. "Probably not the best always, but it has been strong pretty much everywhere.

"But ꧃in the end, the points count and whoever has the best car wins. Next time might be a different circuit, different conditions - it is not very straightforward when you say it is one car.

"It de𝓀pends on conditions and layouts. In the end, the fact is whoever has the most points made the best out of the whole year, and it is like that."
