Kimi Raikkonen has vowed to move on from his disappointing Monaco Grand Prix and try to fight back in Canada next week. The Ferrari driver left the Monte Carlo race with nothing to show for after a troubled day which included a drive-through penalty and an accident with Force India's Adrian Sutil.

After finishing in ninth position at Monaco, Raikkonen lost the lead of the championship to Lewis Hamilton, who has outscored the Finn by 12 points in the last two races.

"Sometimes things go well and sometimes they don't," Raikkonen said of his race. "But what happened to us at Monaco was something no one could have foreseen. I left Monaco empty handed. Everything that could go wrong did. But I never look back, because you can't change things of the past. Now we can only analyze the causes, which produced this outcome and we have to try, as far as we can, that these things never happen again. I'm really sorry for what happened with Sutil and I told him I was sorry. These are things that just happen in racing."

Raikkonen is now three points behind Hamilton in the standings, but the world champion is remaining calm and reckons Ferrari will be strong again in Canada.

"Although I didn't collect any points in the last race, thus losing the lead in the championships, it's not the end of the world," he added. "Last year I was in a much poorer situation. Now we have to go to Montreal and fight back. It's a nice city and I'm convinced that we'll have a better car than last year. Traditionally Canada is a good race for Ferrari; so let's hope that we can continue this tradition. It's possible to have strange races there, too, because it's very possible that the safety car will be employed, but we're ready for every kind of situation."
