Hungarian F1 Grand Prix: Raikkonen issues not down to regulations

Kimi Raikkonen says 𒀰the problems he is facing with Ferrari so far this season are not down💖 to the 2014 regulations.
Having moved from Lotus to Ferrari, Raikkonen has struggled💖 compared to team-mate Fernando Alonso, scoring 19 points to Alonso's 97, with a best finish of seventh in the Australian and Spanish grands prix. While Raikkonen admits he's still struggling to feel comfortable with the Ferrari, he says it's a car-specific issue.
"I don't think it's the regulations," Raikkonen said. "In my view I don't think it is that much different to the way you drive than last year's car. Obviously it's a different 🤡team, different car design and certain things are slightly different to how it was in the past. The biggest difference is that it's not to my liking, and unfortunately these are not easy things to change.
"I'm sure we can turn it around and sometimes there is a gꦗood feeling but it doesn't last long. Last weekend was a better feeling again and we changed something and got something new in the car so hopefully that will start putting us in the right direction and we will get to where we should be."
However, Raikkonen𒅌 said he felt he was making progress in Germany last week despite only scor꧂ing one point in tenth place.
"Overall it was a bit better and a lot morಞe to my liking over the weekend. But I did qualifying and we were a bit out of position compared to where I think w🎃e should have been. Then you end up between the cars fighting and we got damaged twice on the front wing and I think that compromised our race a lot.
"Probably we should have done different things on the tactics, but that's how it went. There were soﷺme good times and hopefully that's happening more and wꦍe can keep it all the time."
And Raikkonen b💞elieves Hungary could be a better circuit fꩵor Ferrari than recent tracks.
"It's a different circuit more close to Monac🌺o than the other place. We were having quite a good race there but obviously we have to see if we get that good feeling and g🅘et the car where we want and have that good feeling without any issues in practice to try things however we want.
"We will🏅 have to see tomorrow, but usually it is a good race and even this twisty track where people say you can't overtake, we have seen in the past that it can change a lot in the race after qualifying. We'll see how it goes."
