Kimi Raikkonen said he only has himself to blame for the mistake which appeared to cost him pole position at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

Raikkonen was on course to beat Ferrari teammate Sebastian Vettel to the fastest time of qualifying when he got out of shape at Turn 16, which ultimately meant he was unable to improve on his effort had to settle for sixth on the grid. He had been down the order after making a mistake during his first attempt earlier in the final qualifying session.

"Right now I'm disappointed with what happened today," Raikkonen said.
