Russian GP – Kimi Raikkonen: “Doing our best”

Kimi Raikkonen: “We knew we could expect a very demanding race and that starting from far back it would not be easy to move up the order, but at the start we did very well. Unfortunately a Toro Rosso squeezed me towards the wall once we were on the straight. Because I had to brake hard, various cars passed me and I lost any chance of having a good race, because from then on I was always stuck behind other cars. 

The car handled well and with a clear track I had a good pace, but we lacked top speed with which to try and overtake on the straight and having to save fuel meant I couldn’t push as hard as I wanted to. We are aware that this year it’s hard to fight for the top places, but all the same, we will continue to try our best, starting with the very next race in Austin. That track is very demanding and interesting and I hope I don’t have the same problems I had here, so that I can aim for a good result. However, what I wish for most is that all our prayers help Jules at this difficult time.”

Desculpem, mas não tenho o que comentar desta corrida porque simplesmente não a vi inteira. Acho que não assisti sequer 20 voltas, apaguei. 

Na verdade, esta parte da largada que Kimi comentou, me lembro perfeitamente, porque foi uma das poucas coisas que prestei atenção (já que o sono era gigante...semana puxada no trabalho faz isto com a gente).

Beijinhos, Ludy
