Kimi Raikkonen has suggested that he performed to his "maximum" in qualifying third for Sunday's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
The Finn could overtake fellow countryman Valtteri Bottas in the final drivers' standings by scoring two points more and will start the race three places ahead of the Williams driver.
However, Raikkonen has admitted that he may struggle to compete with the Mercedes duo of Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton.
He told reporters: "It has been a nice Saturday, my car has been feeling pretty good the whole day. This morning I only struggled on some laps, but overall the behaviour was the way I wanted and when it's like that it's a lot easier to put the lap together.
"The Mercedes have been very quick today and yesterday, in the lap times they are a bit faster than us, but the race is tomorrow, so let's see. I did my maximum today.
"Tomorrow is another day, we can only do our best and see where we'll end up. We'll try to make a good start and then see how it pans out, going from there and making the right decisions."
Raikkonen's teammate Sebastian Vettel was only 16th fastest.
