Kimi Raikkonen said he does not make sense to compete with Fernando Alonso after the star of Ferraris made its key overtaking to win the Spanish Grand Prix. Raikkonen, who was a three-stop strategy, was ahead of Alonso (four pit stop), but on the last stint, when both of them left in one stop, Alonso used his recently replaced tires ahead of Raikkonen and pulled forward before final stops. When asked if his victory had looked achievable pilot of Lotus replied: "Maybe in the middle of the race when the lead, but our tires were old and their were new. Easy to get ahead, so there was little point in re- fight, I could not keep him behind me. knew that if somehow I manage to keep close, I might have a chance even with the old tires, but in the end Alonso was just too fast, "said Kimi. Raikkonen did not think the first lap when he lost position from Alonso in third turn was the moment when he decided his whole race. "I made a good start, but I do not think the final result is decided there. Did not win, but we are happy only when you win. Regarding the championship, we are close to Vettel and Fernando overtaking me, but we're still in the race and hope to succeed. " Now Raikkonen behind with only 4 points from the leader in getting the drivers Sebastian Vettel and Kimi already can not wait for the next battles. "Sometimes you have bad days and pulling most of them, making the best of what you are capable of fighting for victory. If you keep trying, eventually we'll get a chance and then we can fight in the championship. So far it's only five races.'ll see what happens and where we are in the final, "said the Finn. |
