Räikkönen aims for podium in Hungary

Unhappy once again during the German Grand Prix, Kimi Räikkönen failed to finish the race on Sunday. Victim of a radiator problem due to debris picked up on the track and then losing power, the Finn saw his race ruined shortly after. A collision with Adrian Sutil on the 29th lap forced him to retire a few laps later.

Disappointed, the pilot Ferrari decided to move on quickly and is now looking forward to the next meeting in Hungary. “ The F60 should perform quite well at the Hungaroring with its many slow corners; Furthermore the temperature should be slightly higher than in Germany “, he declared on his blog. In these conditions, the Finn plans to achieve a good performance on the circuit in the suburbs of Budapest. “ It would be nice to get on the podium again », predicts the one who has already won a third place in Monaco.

After Felipe Massa's third place in Germany, a new arrival in the leading trio would allow the Ferrari team to further consolidate its third place in the Manufacturers' standings, the Reds' stated objective.
