‘A disaster, we have to make car faster’ – Kimi Raikkonen

Kimi Raikkonen had some choice w൲ords to say about his Alfa Romeo following another difficult weekend in the Hungarian Grand Prix that saw him𝕴 qualify last on the grid and pick up a penalty in the race.
Coming to the Hungaroring on the b🏅ack of two disappointing races in Austria, Raikkonen had hoped for better fortune around a circuit he enjoyed one of his better 2019 results twelve months ago.
However, after setting the slowest time of all in a damp qualifying, Raikkonen hampered himself further oꦺn race day when he overshot his grid slot and didn’t have time to reverse back into position.
Earning himself a five-second time penalty, Raikkonen made up ground in the race to finish 15th but had scant po💎sitives to take away from the weekend as a whole.
“It has been a disaster but we just have to do things better,” Raikkonen said. “And we have to make𝕴 the car faster – as 💎simple as that.
“It wasn’▨t a very busy race for me. Unfortunately, starting where we did meant we had a very difficult job ahead of us: we did what we could but it wasn’t enough for points. Our pace wasn’t too bad, I made up a few places at the st🔯art but the penalty put me back at the bottom.
“The grid was a bit slippery, I went a bit too ಞlong into the box and I didn’t have the time to reverse; we could have been a few more places up so it’s a bit of a shame.
“We have a lot of work to do to improve our qualifying, but we can be positive abou🙈t our performance on Sundays.”
After three rouꦆnds, Raikkonen is now one of only four drivers yet to score a point so far this season together with George Russell, Nicholas Latifi and Romain Grosjean.
