all came good in the desert heat of Sakhir as both Raikkonen and Grosjean scored the results that had eluded them. Raikkonen’s second place was his 63rd podium finish, while Grosjean was making his first ever visit to a grand prix podium with third place. The Iceman reflected on his afternoon, “I think we gave ourselves a chance
but I’m disappointed I didn’t manage to win it. I made a small mistake at the beginning, lost one place to Ferrari, and I had to get that place back. In the end we were not fast enough to win. I got one chance to get past Sebastian but I chose the wrong side. That was the only chance really.”
