At the end of the qualifying hour at the red Bull Ring in Austria on Saturday afternoon, Scuderia Ferrari driver Kimi Raikkonen ended up with the fourth best time, however since Lewis Hamilton has been handed a penalty for an unscheduled gearbox change, Kimi will start Sunday's race from third slot on the grid.
The Finn saw a steady improvement after a not-so-easy start to the weekend, however he only managed one run in Q3 as the yellow flags were brought out on the final lap after Grosjean stopped on track.
“The whole weekend had been quite tricky so far and yesterday, for certain reasons, we did not have a very good day,” he said. “This morning, we basically started from zero. The feeling with the car was getting better and better, but it was not easy to recover from yesterday.”
“The qualifying session was a bit messy, with the traffic and the yellow flags."
"I'm not very happy overall, but considering how tricky it has been , third place is not bad. It could have been much worse. Later this evening and tomorrow morning we will go through all the different scenarios and we'll try to pick the best one, depending on what happens in the first lap, how the weather will be and other factors”.
