The ‘King of Spa’ made a long awaited return to his most prolific circuit today at Spa-Francorchamps, but with torrential rain battering the track throughout both sessions it was a somewhat subdued day’s work for the Iceman.
Q: Kimi, with limited running in FP1 and no laps at all in FP2, was there really anything to learn from our first day in Spa ?
KR: I only actually put in one complete lap during the whole day – and this was just to practice the start procedure – but we can’t control the weather ; it’s been like this before and it’ll be like it again. It’s a shame for the fans but there’s nothing we can really do to change it ; when there’s that much water on the track you just end up aquaplaning, so it is what it is.
Q: Every team had so little track time today ; could traffic be an issue in FP3 tomorrow morning as everyone tries to compensate ? How crucial will that session be ?
KR: It’s the same situation as we would have at any other circuit. In fact, with such a long lap the effect shouldn’t be so bad as at some places. We’ll have to see what the weather does. I was happy with the car at the last race so hopefully we can find a good setup pretty quickly.
Q: Many people are ranking the team – and yourself in particular given your record here – as favourites for the race on Sunday ; would you agree ?
KR: It makes no difference what people say before the race ; all that matters is the result. The most important thing right now is to get the best time possible in qualifying and see where we go from there.
