Raikkonen’s crash-strewn weekend went from bad to worse wh🅠en he picked up a 10-second stop-go penalty after it emerged that the Swiss squad had put the wrong tyres on his car ahead of the race.

Asked to explai🦩n the penalty, Raikkonen replied: “I don’t explain the penalty, I don’t know the rules.

“Somebody fucked up somewhere but it just happened. Plus that fucking set [of tyres]was completely useꦑless.

“It was a shit weekend, really. T🐎here was my mistake yesterday, and then today, for some reason, we had the wrong tyres, I don’t know why.

“I think if I hadn’t done the mistake yesterday and if there hadn’t been that mistake over the tyres today, for sur🦩e we ♏would have finished much higher.”

FIA race director Michael Masi explained after the race that there is no loophole in the regulations🐻 to allow teams to change tyres in the event of a pitlane start, unless an entirely new chassis is re🅠quired.

“It’s only if you change the survival cell, the chassis, which they didn’t do,” Masi said. 🥀;

“So if they had changed the survival cell that’s🍬 when the change of tyres comes in.﷽”
