BUDAPEST, Hungary -- Kimi Raikkonen believes he had the pace to secure pole position at the Hungarian Grand Prix, but said he came up behind traffic on his quick lap.
The Ferrari driver had been on provisional pole position as conditions gradually improved in Q3, but there was still time to fit a fresh set of full wet tyres and try one more lap. Both Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas managed to improve to lock out the front row of the grid for Mercedes, but Raikkonen said his lap was ruined by traffic.
"It's disappointing not to be first," Raikkonen said.
