Raikkonen ready to move on from Turkey

The Finn was unable to match the pace of Ferrari teammate Felipe Massa, who won the race after starting from pole position.

Raikkonen had to settle for third place behind McLaren's Lewis Hamilton, who closed the gap to the world champion to seven points.

"I came to Istanbul leading by nine points and now I'm seven ahead," Raikkonen said on Ferrari's website on Tuesday.

"Not much changed. I had a really difficult weekend. It started with a problem and went on with another. Fortunately in the end I did not finish too badly. I wanted to fight for a win, but that's racing.

"Sometimes it just goes wrong since the very beginning of the weekend. So you concentrate to save as much as you can, just like I did in Turkey. I can't be too disappointed about the third spot, considering what happened at the start."

Raikkonen says he is has already moved on from the Istanbul disappointed and is now looking forward to a competitive race in Monaco.

"Afterwards it's always easy to say what we could have done. But I never do that and this case is closed," he added.

"So far the only the weekend at Barcelona was without any problems. I hope that the next one will be at Monte Carlo. I think that we have a very competitive car.

"We'll have two days of tests in France to test the solutions for the Monaco GP. The Team is very motivated to try to be strong on a track, where we were not competitive last year. "
