SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium -- Kimi Raikkonen said a Ferrari blunder forced him to watch the closing moments of Q3 from the garage and see his name slip down to sixth on the timing screens.
Ferrari had looked like favourite for pole in the dry conditions but the rain which hit Q3 changed everything. The Finn had briefly been on provisional pole but soon had to return to the pit-lane as he did not have enough fuel in his car to attempt another run.
"I knew how much fuel I had but I didn't know we didn't have time to refuel and go out again," Raikkonen said afterwards.
