Kimi Upbeat
After Losing
Championship Lead
Kimi Raikkonen admits that he is most disappointed with his result in the Malaysian Grand Prix, but he still remains optimistic for future success. Kimi could do no better than 3rd and also dropped two points behind Fernando Alonso, who now leads the Drivers' World Championship. This is what Raikkonen had to say:

"I'm happy to get some points but a bit disappointed how the race ended up. The whole weekend was quite difficult but I think we needed to compromise too many things and we lost too much speed because of those things, but it was one of those weekends where we needed to do what was most important and try to get as many points as we could. We just didn't have enough speed today and couldn't do much more.

I think we did the best we could and at least we scored important points, so we need to make everything 100 percent right at the next race," he added. I think we know the reasons why we were not quick in this race, but unfortunately, as I said, we were in a position where we couldn't do anything else," Raikkonen went on. "Hopefully we can turn the tables in the next race and fight for a win again."
