Raikkonen denies issues in practice

Kimi Raikkonen has denied he had any issues in FP1 despite finishing just 15th in the session.

The Ferrari man struggled as many of the other drivers did in the first session of the weekend in Baku on a circuit that was dusty and wasn't taking much rubber. Raikkonen denied however that his position was reflective of any issues he might have had with the car.

Raikkonen did recover and finished second in FP2. He and his Ferrari teammate Sebastian Vettel showed strong race pace which gave the Finn some promise going into Saturday.
