Stupid McLaren Mercedes - Kimi loses 10 spots again

#

Kimi Raikkonen’s run of bad luck continues with McLaren Mercedes. They had to replace the engine right before qualifying and as a result, no matter what he did in qualifying he was going to lose 10 spots.

And what ended up happening? He finished on pole!! With Juan Pablo on second position, it would have been perfect for both Kimi and McLaren, but that’s just a fantasy.

Now, what will be the strategy? Kimi on heavy fuel, maybe taking one pitstop less? I am sure, with the track record that McLarens have, they will be able to pass a few guys with no problems - heavy fuel or not.

Its going to be an interesting one. Let’s see.
