Kimi Raikkonen rues missed podium as car failure costs him second in Hungary

Kimi Raikkonen insists that he would have finished second if his car hadn't failed in the Hungarian Grand Prix.

Ferrari driver Kimi Raikkonen has admitted that it is painful for him to miss out on a podium, after his car failed in the latter stages of the Hungarian Grand Prix.

The 35-year-old was running comfortably in second behind his teammate Sebastian Vettel until a power issue forced him into retirement.

Vettel went on to win the race ahead of Red Bull duo Daniil Kvyat and Daniel Ricciardo.

Raikkonen told reporters: "It was a pain for us not to be one and two because we easily had the speed and everything was there, we just got done by a problem with the car.

"Unfortunately that's part of the luck for us and part of the business and part of the racing and there is nothing we could do. The car went wrong but we did the maximum level we could at the end of the day."

Raikkonen is now 85 points behind Vettel in the championship standings.
