Engine blow for Raikkonen.

Kimi ꦓRaikkonen's World Championship hopes have been dealt a serious blow after the Finn suffered another engine failure right at the start of the second practice session on Saturday. The Finn pulled off in the complex without completing a flying lap.

Raikkonen had a failure at Magny-Cours, but w꧑as still third fastest in qualifying, despite using a very heavy fuel load. He started the race in 13th, and finished second.

The team will now have to come up with a similarly bold strategy, although he might not find it quite so e🍰asy to make progress up the field.
