quoteKIMI STILL WITHOUT DRS! And the Ferrari? Kimi Raikkonen has reached 309.5 km / h (the Finnish struggled when overtaking because once again it did not work because it did not receive the DRS is enabled for use: but it depends on the electronics of Maranello or by FOM?) while Fernando Alonso stopped at 307.4 km / h, a sign that the Spaniard had approved a machine with more wing, perfectly in line with Sebastian Vettel, Red Bull Racing credited to 307.7 km / h.

McLaren gave more worries to Kimi than his own car

Kimi Räikkönen's score after two races might be completely different without McLaren-worries.
Räikkönen drives with a Ferrari slowed down by the front which still doesn't obey his driving style, but he lost more points because of McLaren.
In Malaysia Magnussen hit his front wing in Kimi's rear tyre on the second lap.
– My race was practically over by then, Räikkönen snapped.
The only good thing in Räikkönen's race was his good start. He had a fierce battle with his teammate Fernando Alonso which ended after the Spaniard forced Kimi over the marbles.
– I had a good speed at that point, but when I got out of the corner I was pushed out. There was no grip on the marbles so I couldn't improve my position. Then again it didn't matter because there was so much damage from the crash in the next lap.
– All and all the car feels better now than it felt in Australia. Once we get the parts I have asked for, hopefully by Bahrain already, then the feeling of the front should become such that I can drive faster, Räikkönen sighed.
The first two-day test period will be held after Bahrain. Oviously Räikkönen's possible participance in the testing work depends upon if the parts are already in the car by the race, or if they will be tested out only after China.

after reading highlighted and other interview with Kimi I struggle to agree with the logic of the initial statement to be honest. Plus Kimi himself says 'marbles' not 'off the track'

Alonso did push him off (didn't give him space) that's why Hulk pass him, but his floor was damaged because he ran with flat tyre for 1 lap. The initial statement didn't come from Kulta I think.
