Kimi Raikkonen says his start in the German Grand Prix, which attracted a penalty due to the behaviour of his clutch, was not an especially good one.
Raikkonen moved up from fifth to third at the start of the race but said this was only because the cars ahead of him got away poorly.
Alfa Romeo confirmed today it has appealed the stewards’ decision to penalise Raikkonen and team mate Antonio Giovinazzi 30 seconds each on their race time after finding their clutches did not behave correctly at the start of the race.
Raikkonen originally finished seventh but was relegated to 12th by his penalty.
