World
champion Kimi Raikkonen is adamant he is in very strong form for
tomorrow's Bahrain Grand Prix despite a discreet showing in
qualifying.
The
Finn has been overshadowed by teammate Felipe Massa in all
sessions this weekend, and the Brazilian will start the race from
second while Raikkonen will be fourth. But the Ferrari driver, who
is yet to finish higher than third in Bahrain, reckons the
different strategies are likely to play a key role tomorrow, and
he is confident he will be in very good shape in the race.
He
admitted, however, that he was not too pleased with the way the
day had gone. "I'm not very happy with the way today went,
but fourth place is still a good starting position for the race,
given the potential we have," said Raikkonen.
"The
balance of the car was not perfect right from this morning and I
struggled a bit to be as quick as I would have liked to be and
could have been. Now we have to look at the data to try and find
out why. I think that tomorrow in the race, when points are up for
grabs, I will be very strong. I think we might have made different
choices in terms of strategy, but let's wait and see in the race
if that's really the case."
