Kimi Raikkonen admits Ferrari was just not quick enough today to beat the dominant McLarens but remains confident of a strong race tomorrow. The Finn even let Nick Heidfeld get in between him and the McLarens, having to settle for fourth.

Kimi Raikkonen said: "To be honest, we were not quick enough today to think about beating our closest rivals, but I think we have a good race pace, which means we can be more competitive than we looked in qualifying.

"The car is very good over a long run, so I am still confident. Starting from the dirty side of the track is definitely not an advantage, even if usually we make good starts. On both my runs in Q3 I did a good lap, but I had too much understeer in the final two or three turns, where I lost valuable time. It's a problem we have had all weekend and we have not managed to solve it over the first timed lap."
