Raikkonen: problems on the tests-this is not the end of the world

Most of the second day of testing in Barcelona Kimi Raikkonen has been sitting in boxes because of problems with the gearbox. In the evening, Finn could not hide his disappointment, but said that he does not consider the difficulties too serious. . . .
Q: Kimi, you are disappointed?
Kimi Raikkonen: Yes, it is unpleasant, none of the riders don't want to wander around the trails and do nothing. We had a problem with the gearbox, and it took the team a lot of time to solve it.

Sometimes such problems require time, but it is normal for the first tests, because we don't have a lot of spare parts, there is no other transmission that can simply be installed in the car.
The team worked hard to machine, but the racer in such situations, there is little that can be done, and not too fun to watch other people passing along the road round and round.
Question: Until the machine was repaired, what did you do?
Kimi Raikkonen: Slept.
Question: Can we consider problems of the last two days blow for the team?
Kimi Raikkonen: Not quite so. When still managed to go to the track, I showed the third time, so the prospects are. The day was not as we expected, but the novel will test the car for two more days, and next week I will once again sit behind the wheel.
On the basis of all engaged in the production of new items, and we hope that when we go to Australia, the malfunction will be corrected. Last year we missed the entire second session of the tests in Barcelona, but during the championship, the car was competitive. Of course, the fact that we could not work a bit frustrating, but the problems on the tests is not the end of the world.
Not to say that if we had passed the 150 laps, this will affect the season. Even if you do not perform any tests, racing your car may be fast and reliable. And Vice versa - you can take tests 10 thousand miles and encounter problems. Regardless of how many laps you have passed, all can be right or wrong.
Question: Many people believe that the wear of the new Pirelli tyres too large. Do you agree?
Kimi Raikkonen: A year ago we were experiencing similar difficulties when it was cold and the track is not yet covered by a layer of waste rubber. I don't expect these problems in the race.
