Despite a rearranged nose and front wing \u2013 courtesy of contact with Sergio Perez\u2019s McLaren \u2013 Kimi fought back after a poor start from the front row of the grid. Romain Grosjean endured a more difficult race, with ninth place his reward at the chequered flag. Kimi keeps up his run of consecutive points finishes and retains second in the Drivers\u2019 Championship on a tally of 49 points; three behind leader Sebastian Vettel. The team falls one place to third position in the Constructors\u2019 Championship on 60 points, with Ferrari now ahead with 73 points.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking after the race, <strong>Kimi Raikkonen<\/strong> said that he wasn&#8217;t 100% happy because he didn\u2019t win. \u201cSecond wasn\u2019t quite what we wanted, but in the circumstances it was the best that we could manage today. I\u2019m not 100% happy because we didn\u2019t win, but it is what it is and second place is a good result after a bad start and the incident with Sergio [Perez]. It was quite difficult out there; obviously the car is not designed like that otherwise we would use it all the time, but I was surprised how good it was still. Of course there were some handling issues which was not ideal, but we just had to try to live with it and we still had pretty okay speed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile <strong>Romain Grosjean<\/strong>, who finished ninth, said, \u201cIt was a long, tough race and again we not able to make it work quite as well as we wanted. I\u2019m definitely not happy with ninth place; we started P6 and thought we had a good chance to end up within the top five, but unfortunately we could not manage it. I did as much as I could, but I couldn\u2019t get the performance I wanted and being in traffic of course affects this. It was good to score some points for the team, but I want more in Bahrain for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Eric Boullier<\/strong>, Team Principal, said: &#8220;It\u2019s a good result for the team today. Kimi showed once more why he\u2019s one of the very best drivers in the world by being one of the fastest on track despite sustaining damage to his car. As a team we were able to give him a good strategy allowing us to beat Lewis [Hamilton] and Mercedes in a close battle. Romain had a more difficult day, but he scored points in another race which is positive and we feel he\u2019s reached a turning point now where things will start coming together. Without the poor start and without the incident for Kimi then we definitely would have fought for a win today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>By ISN<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shanghai: Kimi R\u00e4ikk\u00f6nen took his second podium finish of the season with a strong second place in the Chinese Grand Prix.
