Kimi Raikkonen: “It's not up to me to decide but Verstappen's maneuvers are questionable”

He speaks little and reluctantly Kimi Raikkonen, but when he does so his words are clear, decisive and above all targeted. TO Max Verstappen in this case, according to the Rossa driver, he was guilty of having compromised his race several times, preventing him from letting himself pass with incorrect maneuvers. Although the final result was not the one hoped for - sixth, still starting from fourteenth place - Kimi won the moral victory for his tenacity and for having driven an impeccable race, like the true world champion that he is. Let's not forget it.

“Today my car was really in shape and performed well: we had the speed but it must be said that this is not a circuit where it is easy to overtake,” he admitted Raikkonen at the end of his amazing race. “Unfortunately, after yesterday's qualifying, today we weren't in a position that would have allowed us to get the result we deserved, and that's the most disappointing aspect.”

“Regarding the battle with Max – he continued Iceman – it's not up to me to decide but I think his maneuvers are questionable. The first time he started by moving to the right and I went to the left, but he moved again, so I had to try to get out of it because I was hitting him in the back and I also lost a piece of my wing, which didn't make it any easier. a new attack. Then later, every time I tried to make a move and I was about to go under he decided to turn and in the end I had no more space. It's not my job to decide whether he behaved correctly or not, but I've seen people penalized for much less. Today we gave our all, I'm disappointed because I could have passed him and gone to get the others", concluded Kimi decisively.
