Kimi Raikkonen has had a solid season so far but in his usual self, he wants more points and wants to be higher up the championship table. The Finn is currently sitting in 8th and has scored points in every race so far. 

“I think we’ve been getting some points at least,” Raikkonen, eighth in the standings, told Motorsport Week“But I don’t think we got everything out of any of the weekends from the package, so on that side, it’s a bit disappointing, but we’ll keep fine-tuning things.

“It’s a young group of people so we need to do things better a little bit here and there and I’m sure it will turn out to be good.”

When asked about his performance at the last Grand Prix the Finn said, 

At the last race I had an issue at the end of the race and broke a strake on the front wing and we lost the downforce,

“It’s probably a similar thing. We knew the issue after the last race but we didn’t have time to produce a new one and this is what you get.

“For sure it doesn’t make you faster but this is what it is. Hopefully, it will be fair for everybody after this.”

Raikkonen will hope that he can continue scoring points and get even higher up the driver's championship.
