Kimi Raikkonen has warned fans of Lotus not to read too much into their Practice pace ahead of the Indian Grand Prix.
The Finn was fifth fastest in FP2 and also looked impressive on long distance set-ups.
But Raikkonen was realistic about his chances for the rest of the event:
“I said we were probably eight tenths behind Red Bull at the last race, so we got a bit closer in qualifying, but I don’t think they did a perfect job in qualifying. So I think we’re more or less the same here,” he told Autosport.
“The long run seemed quite good but I wouldn’t say it was anything special. They are still faster than us. We are maybe a little bit closer, but that’s our speed.”
He also seemed wary of the team’s rivals:
“It’s always hard to say what they’ve been doing. We were faster on some laps, but they could have made mistakes or something,” Raikkonen argued.
“For sure we can still improve over one lap, but then we are not far from our maximum speed.”
