Lotus driver Kimi Raikkonen has said that he is cautious about his back injury ahead of next weekend’s Korean Grand Prix.
Raikkonen struggled at the qualifying session at Singapore due to the injury, but eventually recovered with a 3rd place finish despite starting at the 13th position in the grid.
“It’s better than it was on Saturday in Singapore which is when it didn’t feel too good. The important thing was that I was able to race and we did a pretty good job with the podium finish.

“It’s not the first time I’ve had a problem, as there have been some issues with my back for a long time. For sure, we will have to see how it is when I get out on track on Friday in Korea,” Raikkonen was quoted by ESPN.
Raikkonen also expressed his desire to do well in the Korean Grand Prix.
“Let’s hope we are able to maintain the strong form from Sunday in Singapore. The car felt good for the whole race and it was a nice feeling racing too. The main focus is to keep this positive feeling and benefit from it in the next races,” he said.
