FIA Emirates Formula One 70th Anniversary Grand Prix 2020 – Race – Sunday
Weather: sunny, 24.2-26°C air, 42.7-43.5°C track
It was a valiant effort, one that could have brought home a reward on another day, but this Sunday it was not meant to be. The team gave everything and put up a decent display on a hot British summer day, but in the end all we had to show for it were a P15 and a P17.
Kimi Räikkönen (car number 7):
Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN C39 (Chassis 05/Ferrari)
Race result: 15th
Fastest lap: 1:31.756
Tyres: Used Hard (26 laps) – New Medium (25 laps)
“I am not happy to be out of the points, of course, even though our pace was not too bad. We did what we could but from P20 we could only make it up to 15th, so we are still missing something, especially on Saturday, to be in the fight for the top ten. We thought a one-stop was possible since yesterday so we tried: the tyres actually lasted well, I still had pretty good grip but had an awful lot of vibration and I had to slow down to avoid something breaking. In the end we leave with nothing, so we will need to come up with a better performance if we want to be in the fight for points.”
