Arrivabene points finger at Raikkonen for bad start

Ferrari team principal Maurizio Arrivabene has speculated that Kimi Raikkꦇonen was probably to blame for his failure to get away from the grid at the start of the Italian Grand Prix.

Raikkonen had put his Ferrari on the front row, after edging out team-mate Sebastian Vettel in qualifying to line-♓up second. However, a disastrous start saw him drop right to the back and while he di🥀d recover and finish fifth, it was very much a missed opportunity.

Quizzed on what happened after the race, Arrivabene said they have s💎t🍨ill to analyse it precisely, but he speculated that "finger" trouble was the issue.

"If it's a technical issue we will let you know, but at the moment it looked like he☂ was struggling, or messing a b🅘it, with his finger to follow the procedure. But to make an accusation before I have data is wrong," he told reporters at Monza.

"What I can say to be positive is that on S🦩aturday he made a fantastic qualifying and on Sunday into the🎃 race, starting from that position, he was doing very good overtaking and we were happy.

"Of course, if you are asking what the ideal situation would be it was to see Kimi go and pass for first in tꦛhe first corner and to have Vettel sꦅecond or third.

"This wou🏅ld be ideal, but we have to be happy because we had a driver who was second, we are still second in t🤪he constructors' championship.

"That's fine."

Meanwhile, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Raikkonen himself insisted that he "did the same thing as a꧙lways" and was at a loss to explain what went wrong.
