Small error costs Raikkonen
Lotus F1 Team
Kimi Raikkonen says a small error on his hot lap in Q3 cost him time during qualifying for the Japanese Grand Prix.
Raikkonen will start the race on Sunday from ninth place on the grid.
'The car has felt much better here than it has in recent races; even if we don’t have a better position on the grid for tomorrow,' he said.
'A small mistake on my quick lap cost me a little bit of time and it’s very close here, so a small amount lost can mean quite a few positions dropped. We’ll have to see what happens in the race, but the car has certainly been more to my liking this weekend so the position on the grid is not a drama.'
