Kimi Räikkönen didn't bother to worry over his rally

Kimi Räikkönen didn't bother to worry even though Rally Finland ended in a worse than expected position after small driving errrors. Räikkönen drove out on the first special stage of the final day and fell far down on the resultboard.

-There were mistakes but what can you do. I'm not too annoyed over it, Räikkönen said right after the finish line of the rally's last special stage.

Räikkönen still has some things to learn with the pace notes. In Jyväskylä the need to trust the notes is highlighted. But Räikkönen wasn't too upset over his difficult race.

-At least we learned these stages which kind of was the purpose. One has to learn them if one wants to succeed and fight for top positions, Räikkönen said.

Räikkönen, who is driving for the Citroen Junior Team, finished the rally at 25th position. Strained by accidents and time penalties he was more than 23 minutes behind winner Jari-Matti Latvala.
