“There's not much I can say,” a phlegmatic Raikkonen admitted afterwards. “My race was ruined by Hamilton's mistake. I might not be the best person to say you shouldn't hit anybody because in the last race in Monaco I made a mistake, but it's one thing to be going 300km/h on the circuit, lose control and hit somebody and another to be going down the pit-lane with a speed limit, not look in front of you and hit a car stopped at a red light. That's a bit stupid.
“I am not angry, because that doesn't achieve anything and does not change my result. I am unhappy, because I had a great chance of winning. Once the graining had gone from the tyres, the car was going very well.
“I have failed to score in these last two races and now it's time to start winning again. There is still a long way to go in the championship and it is still very close, and we have everything we need to regain the ground we have lost.”
