Ferrari driver Kimi Raikkonen started last night's Bahrain Grand Prix from fifth on the grid, and he finished in the same place.

Unfortunately the Finn got off to a bad start and the Red Bull of Max Verstappen went charging past him and knocking him back to sixth and the the Williams of Felipe Massa knocked him back even further.

Kimi acknowledges that his start was far from the best, and he spent so much of the race trying to catch back up, however he is also taking a lot of positives away from the weekend.

“In a way, a lot of good things happened this weekend, but the end result is still disappointing,” he explained. “The car was working pretty nicely and to be honest I expected that. Today I had a bad start and because of that, the first two corners were really bad; obviously after that I was catching up, I got past Massa reasonably quickly. Then I did my pit stop, but I was unlucky with the Safety Car.”

“The overall feeling was good, I was fast but obviously the time lost at the start did not help: we put ourselves in a difficult position. I feel that we are absolutely doing the right things, and in the big picture we are pretty much where we want to be, but we still need to fine-tune a few things; it's all about putting the lap together. We need to start more at the front and then our races will be a lot easier. I am happy for Seb and for all the team.”
