Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen vented his frustration over team radio during the Chinese Grand Prix questioning his race strategy which ultimately left him in fifth

It's fair to say Kimi Raikkonen didn't have the happiest of days in the Chinese Grand Prix!

Not for the first time in the Ferrari driver's long and illustrious career, the Finn lost his cool over the radio as he questioned when the team were going to bring him in to pit as he slipped behind the Red Bulls.

From "what the hell is happening?" to "where are we going to finish?", Raikkonen grew increasingly agitated as he realised his race was not going to get better than fifth place.

"I think we should have changed it [the soft tyres] earlier, but we have got to look what happened," he told Sky F1.

"The car was good when the tyres are fresh, but we seemed to lose the front tyres and in a place like this you are going to give a lot of lap time away.

"But even with that we should have got a bit better result, but this is what we got. Not a very strong race."
