Kimi Raikkonen was left frustrated with his performance in free practice for the Canadian Grand Prix after he and Ferrari failed to make progress with his SF16-H.
While Sebastian Vettel showed promising pace and reported positive signs from the Scuderia’s turbo upgrade, his team-mate was a quiet fifth in FP1 and a distant eighth in the afternoon session.
Raikkonen seemed to be on a very different programme in FP2, spending the major part of the session racking up the laps at the bottom of the timesheets before improving in the closing stages.
Asked whether he had experienced any problems, the Finn replied: “It was far from an ideal day, we just struggled a bit and couldn’t make any sense of the car.
Pressed to disclose more about the nature of the issues, Raikkonen added: “We want to make the car handling better and we didn’t manage to do so. It’s one of those days when you keep changing but it still doesn’t work exactly as you hoped.
“We tried many things and we have to go through them and pick the right thing for Saturday.”
