F1 | Raikkonen: “So far we have been fast but we can definitely improve”
Second time between the two Red Bulls for the Ferrari driver, at the end of the first day on the track in Baku
Satisfied but not too much. This is how Kimi Raikkonen summarizes his first day on the track in Baku, at the conclusion of FP2 of the Azerbaijan GP, where he finished in second position just 6 hundredths behind the leader Ricciardo. Just like Vettel, Kimi also spent more time in the pits in the morning than his rivals, with the mechanics preferring to use the time available to prepare the car for the afternoon work, given the not particularly optimal track conditions. Here is the Finnish "response" at the end of the day.
“Yes, I'm satisfied with the behavior of my car, even if the weekend didn't start in the easiest way possible. In the morning I requested some major set up changes, which took longer than expected; maybe we should have started earlier, so as to have a few more laps in the first session and be ready for the second, but in the end the decision taken was still the correct one, and it went well."
Iceman, who started from the front row in the last three races, did not want to say too much about Saturday's qualifying: “We'll see how it goes tomorrow, so far the performances haven't been too bad but we can definitely improve and we'll find out what our performance will be in qualifying.”
