‘McLaren has handling problem’

KIMI RAIKKONEN fears McLaren’s dream of victory in their 600th Formula One start could be scuppered by handling problems at the Nurburgring.

The Finn was off the pace in practice for the European Grand Prix yesterday, finishing the two sessions eighth and 13th respectively, and complained of car problems.

Despite pre-season optimism, McLaren have not challenged for a win in the four races so far this year ahead of their engine partner Mercedes’ home grand prix at the Nurburgring.
