Raikkonen can't understand Ferrari struggle

World Champion Kimi Raikkonen says his recent run of bad results do not constitute a crisis.

Raikkonen is now six points adrift of McLaren's Lewis Hamilton in the Drivers' Standings following his sixth place finish in the German Grand Prix.
The Finn's team mate Felipe Massa finished the race in third place, behind Renault rookie Nelson Piquet Jr.

Raikkonen said: "We have struggled all weekend and we have to try and understand why.

"Usually, our race pace is always good, but here that was not the case because I almost always suffered with a lack of grip.

"Only in the final stages did the situation improve a little bit, but it was never enough to be competitive.

"We have a test in Jerez this week, where we will try and improve the car so as to arrive in Budapest in better shape.

"But this is definitely not a crisis. We have to study carefully the handling of the car to understand if we have taken the right road in terms of development."

Ferrari has not had a one-two finish since the French Grand Prix on 22 June, where Raikkonen came in behind Massa.
