Raikkonen hits back at Schumacher

Kimi Raikkonen hit back at new championship leader Michael Schumacher today as he powered to top spot in first qualifying for the European Grand Prix at the Nurburgring in Germany.

The 23-year-old Finn responded to losing the lead in the drivers’ standings to his Ferrari rival at the last race in Canada two weeks ago by setting the pace on a muggy afternoon in Germany.
