Ferrari driver unhappy after 'strange day' at Spanish Grand Prix

Kimi Raikkonen reiterated his displeasure at the day's practice sessions at the Spanish Grand Prix, as he and Ferrari team-mate Sebastian Vettel were once again outgunned by Mercedes.

The Finn was frustrated while behind the wheel at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, heard to remark on the team radio during free practice two: "Do you want to keep going doing laps and laps? Because I get absolutely nothing out of this."

First practice saw Mercedes' Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton the only two drivers to break the one-minute, 27-second mark, before Sebastian Vettel broke into the top two in the afternoon session - at the expense of Rosberg.

Raikkonen could only fractionally improve from practice one to two (1:27.832 to 1:27.780) as he was fourth quickest in both sessions.

"It was quite a strange day," he said.

"The position and lap times were not too bad, but I was not completely happy with the handling of the car.

"I don't know if it was caused by the wind or by the conditions of the track, but I have been struggling all day.

"We did not see anything bad with the upgrades we brought here. It's just the feeling that it's not completely right, as if the car was sliding."

Vettel, who clocked the second-best lap of the afternoon session (1:27.260) behind only Hamilton (1:26.852), was hoping for colder conditions and more grip on the track for Sunday's race.

"I think it's quite straightforward that the medium are the faster tyres, but today it was a bit slippery for all the cars," the German said.

"Grip seems to be very low, nothing abnormal as we've seen it across many years now.

"When we come from the winter usually in summer the track is quite a bit slower.

"It always helps when there are cars around and I think everybody covered quite a lot of laps today: of course on Sunday it will improve, but the general conditions will remain the same.

"They say it is going to be a bit cooler on Sunday and maybe that will help.

"I think we can improve the cars, but the gap with Mercedes is still there."
