Raikkonen still hoping for points finish

Kimi Raikkonen accepts a points finish is likely to be the best he can hope for in tomorrow’s Australian Grand Prix, after a technical fault in qualifying appeared to sink the Finn’s chances of opening the new Formula One season with a victory.

A problem with the fuel pump shortly after completing his first lap in qualifying saw Raikkonen’s Ferrari limp back to the pits before eventually coming to a stop and being pushed back to the garage.
