Kyle Busch didn't admit that he expected more from Kimi Räikkönen in Charlotte's Truck-practice, but the team owner didn't look very pleased after he had a meeting with the Finnish driver when the second practice session had ended.
– Kimi made a big impression on tests in Gresham and Rockingham. He drove really well. Now we had to get him on a racing track and it didn't help at all that we use different tyres than we used during the last couple of times, Busch said to Turun Sanomat.
What does Busch expect from Räikkönen in Friday night's race?
– That he drives all laps, Busch said.
Räikkönen himself didn't hide that the practice laps didn't go the way he wished. Actually only the last lap went well when the team got something right in the car.
– Hopefully the qualification and race goes better. One has to know where to put the car on this track in order to find the best driving lines. That knowledge comes only after laps and experience.
– There wasn't as much traffic as I expected. So I didn't get to learn that either. The car didn't behave the way I wanted, Räikkönen complained.
