Scuderia Ferrari Team Principal was absolutely delighted
with Kimi Raikkonen’s race performance in Sunday’s Chinese Grand Prix at the
Shanghai Circuit.
The Iceman who qualified for the race in sixth place made a
fantastic start getting past both the Williams Martini Racing Team drivers
Felipe Massa and Valtteri Bottas going into T1 and T2. The Finn went on to
challenge team mate Sebastian Vettel for the final spot on the podium but had
to settle for fourth place.
The Finn has now secured two fourth place finishes in a row
following his fantastic drive last time out in Malaysia two weeks ago.
Speaking to Sky Sports F1 HD’s Ted Kravitz after the race
Scuderia Ferrari Team Principal Maurizio Arrivabene said that he was ‘very
very happy’ with Raikkonen’s performance in race and now they are
getting the best out of both Seb and Kimi.
Raikkonen stated after the race that the team should be
happy with where he finished following a difficult qualifying on Saturday and
he is hopeful that they can improve this next weekend in Bahrain.
Following the Chinese Grand Prix Scuderia Ferrari head to
the Bahrain Grand Prix in second place in the Constructors championship on 79
points, 40 behind the Mercedes AMG PETRONAS F1 Team.
