Kimi Räikkönen: “Ferrari should not do this kind of thing”

With Lewis Hamilton, Kimi Räikkönen will remain as the headliner who lost big during the qualifying session for the 2014 Hungarian Grand Prix. If the 2008 World Champion was stopped by a fire on his Mercedes W05 Hybrid, this is an error from the Team Ferrari which ruined Iceman's session, stuck in Q1.

“The plan was to get back out on the track, explains the 2007 World Champion. But in the end the team told me: “No, you’re fine, no need to go back to the circuit. ". I asked them several times, but they confirmed that it was good, and now you see the result. It’s not good for me and for the team. A mistake has been made. It’s already a complicated year. Ferrari as a team should not do this kind of thing. »

The Finn affirmed that he did not want to go against the advice of the Scuderia. “I have confidence in them. I didn't want to go against this advice. We are a team, we make decisions together. »

His teammate Fernando Alonso, 5th on the grid, will start on the right side of the track and knows that strategy can play a role in the race, especially if the rain gets involved.
