Lotus, Räikkönen: “We hope to do better in the race than today”
The Finn will start ninth, Grosjean one position ahead
Silverstone qualifying decent but not good for Lotus who entered the top ten again with both cars, but missed the important chance of starting between the first two rows which could have made her task easier in the race.
“At the beginning on the hard tires we went very well, but then on the medium ones we weren't able to be as fast, as we had noticed in the last free practices, so it was impossible to do better than that – he explained Romain Grosjean, 8th – All in all I am satisfied”.
“There was a good battle between me and my partner – the words of Kimi Räikkönen, 9th – I think I pulled out the maximum available, certainly not ideal and I would have preferred to be closer to the top positions, but that's how it went. The goal for tomorrow is to improve on what we did today. This often happens to us and I hope it's the same here."
