AutoSprint Scans: Kimi's Crash

Räikkönen is still seeing the rally world upside down, while Loeb wins in Mexico and F1 takes flight




"We were out of luck. The car slid on the braking point and we capped the side of the road, rolling over."

The first round on dirt with the WRC car ended in another disaster. However, the progress is becoming evident.

It ws the second race in the WRC for Räikkönen with his Red Bull sponsored Citroën, and the second underperformance for the Finn.

The former Ferrari driver has set some good times, reaching the top ten (with a fifth fastest time), but then compromised his performance by going off road, rolling several times: "I was out of luck," he said. "Especially at the end of the stage 7, there was a slippery braking area, we clipped the road and the car went off quickly and started to roll.

"This was only my seventh rally, I'm learning, but I expected to be better this time. Something happened that I didn't expect, even while I'm getting experience. It was really upsetting, I felt good, such a shame. Now I will prepare for Jordan."

Kaj Lindström was clearly upset: "It's a shame for the roll, Kimi has been doing a lot of progress, both with the driving and following the notes. However, I have no doubts: the results will come soon."
