Kimi dissapointed, but only 'a bit'
Kimi Raikkonen claims that he's only "a bit" disappointed that his engine blew during practice today in Japan. Raikkonen suffered an engine failure towards the end of the first practice session necessitating an engine change. Yet again, the Finn faces a ten-place penalty.
Luckily for Mercedes, Kimi's only 'a bit' upset by it all.
Kimi Raikkonen said in the understatement of the season: "Obviously I'm a bit disappointed with the engine failure which stopped my first practice session prematurely. However, we managed to get some running in the second practice, and there is still plenty of time left tomorrow morning."
At least the Finn's McLaren isn't giving him any problems. "The balance is basically okay."
Raikkonen added that a lot would "depend on what the weather will do for the rest of the weekend."
