Kimi Raikkonen’s miserable Austrian Grand Prix weekend came to an abrupt, albeit fitting end when the Finn retired on the opening lap of the race following a scary shunt with former team-mate Fernando Alonso. Irritated by what he called "bullshit" reports about his contract on Thursday, Raikkonen had then dropped out of Q1 on Saturday and blamed his team for the mishap. The Iceman's growing frustration seemed evident at Spielberg, with Kimi now trailing Sebastian Vettel by 48 points in the standings.
