Barcelona: Kimi R\u00e4ikk\u00f6nen will start from fourth on the grid and Romain Grosjean sixth after qualifying for the 2013 Spanish Grand Prix. Romain posted the seventh fastest time of the day, but was promoted one place after a penalty for Ferrari driver Felipe Massa.<\/p>\n
Kimi R\u00e4ikk\u00f6nen, said, \u201cThat was more or less all we could do today. I didn\u2019t make any mistakes on my fastest lap so that was pretty much all there was to come from the car. I wouldn\u2019t say it was a perfect lap, but I don\u2019t think we would have been much higher up the order if it had been. The Mercedes, as we\u2019ve seen before, seems to be pretty fast in qualifying but hopefully in the race we can turn it around. Our race pace has been pretty good all year so let\u2019s try and get on the podium. I\u2019ll have to make a good start, then let\u2019s see what happens.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Romain Grosjean said that he thought they could have done a bit better and maybe sit one or two rows further towards the front. \u201cWe did a good job today throughout qualifying but on my last lap I made a mistake into turn one, so I decided to back off and save the tyres. Otherwise, I think we could have done a bit better and maybe sit one or two rows further towards the front. I was happy with the car and all the work we\u2019ve done since Friday. For tomorrow, we will see what happens as the competition is very tight. As we have seen, conditions are variable this weekend and once more the tyres should be key,\u201d said Grosjean.<\/p>\n
