- US GP - FP2
Performance not as bad as it looks - Raikkonen
Kimi Raikkonen is confident his performance at the US Grand Prix will be better than his 12th place in second practice suggests.
Raikkonen was sixth fastest in first practice and 12th in the second session but insists he made progress with the car between the two. He is confident his true form will see him further up the order in qualifying on Saturday.
"The day began with a few difficulties in the first free practice session, in which we concentrated on analysing various aerodynamic components. I did not feel comfortable with the set-up we had and controlling the car wasn't easy. In the afternoon, we made some changes and the handling of the car was definitely better.
"On the Medium compound, I managed to do a good lap and I think if I had not been held up in traffic, I could have done even better. We still have a lot of work to do before tomorrow's qualifying, but the improvement we saw from one session to the next seems to indicate we are going in the right direction. We just have to continue doing our best."
