The Finn played his part in athrilling qualifying at Silverstone,finishing just 0.098 seconds off pole-sitterLewis HamiltonandSebastian Vettelsandwiched in between a mere 0.044 seconds away.

“I think I had all the tools today to be faster but I locked the front wheel going into Turn 16 on the last lap,” said Raikkonen.

“肯定的I gave away enough time there to be on the front.

“I’m sure there were places to gain time and be up there but it obviously didn’t happen today.

“This is what we’ve got, it was close but third is not too bad.”

“It will not be easy. You might see a few different things tomorrow. We will aim for the top for sure.”
