Kimi Raikkonen believes that his accident at the end of Q2 had no affect on the outcome of his qualifying session. The Finn endured an extremely disappointing qualifying session in his first race weekend after returning to Ferrari over the Winter as he qualified in 11th place.

Raikkoen said: 'Qualifying wasn't straightforward today, especially because of traffic, when I was on a quick lap I had a car in-front of me at every corner. That stopped me from getting a clean lap and then at end of Q2 I spun and damaged the front wing'.

He believes he wouldn't have gone any quicker in Q2 as he had backed off as he knew he wouldn't have made it into Q3.

He also said that the race tomorrow will be tough as they don't know what the weather will do despite that however he has said that it is only the first race of the season and that they will do their best to get a good result on Sunday.
