Raikkonen more focused on progress than results with Alfa Romeo

Kimi Raikkonen says he is more focused on helping Alfa Romeo make progress with its Formula 1 car than securing outright results in 2019.

The Finn made a surprise move to Alfa Romeo from Ferrari for this season having been largely expected to retire from F1 instead.

Despite a promising pre-season testing in Barcelona, Alfa Romeo has slipped down the pecking order of the midfield and now sits ninth in the constructor standings.

Raikkonen however is not worried about the team's form and is more concerned with making progress with the team's car, adding that despite a poor start there is a positive feeling within the team.

“I don’t have something that ‘oh we need to be here then I’m happy, if we are five points away from that, I need to be unhappy’,” he told Motorsport Week.
