Kimi Raikkonen left frustrated with "disaster" of qualifying session

Raikkonen: 'Qualifying was a disaster'

Ferrari driver Kimi Raikkonen has admitted that his qualifying for the Monaco Grand Prix was a "disaster".

The Finn will line up sixth for tomorrow's race, three places behind teammate Sebastian Vettel.

Raikkonen told reporters: "It was a bad result in the end as it's difficult to overtake here. It's not a very happy day. It's going to be a long race if I'm stuck behind some cars, but I'll try to get the maximum out of it.

"We had no grip on the first set [for the first run]. The second run felt normal but I had traffic. It was a disaster. The car felt okay but it was difficult to get heat in the tyres."

Raikkonen won the famous street race in 2005.
