Kimi Raikkonen says a combination of back pain and a slow car caused poor qualifying

Kimi Raikkonen says his back pain contributed to him only qualifying 13th for the Singapore Grand Prix.

The Team Principal did admit, though, that he is upset that Raikkonen aired the team's financial situation in public. "Yeah, in some ways the timing is not right and it is never good to go public with these kinds of things" Boullier continued. "The financial situation is that we owe him money, but we have to give priority to some other people first and we have to manage our cash flow. There is no issue, his money is guaranteed, it is just a cash flow issue. It is a little bit sad in some ways, but we have to deal with it." Despite Raikkonen moving to Ferrari in 2014, Boullier insists Lotus will continue to support the Finn and he will not be isolated on race weekends. "Not at all," he confirmed. "When we are racing like this weekend, everything is shared between the guys. The only thing we make sure is that any information about next year will not be shared with him." Whilst Raikkonen faces a challenge to scrap for points on Sunday, Boullier is hopeful the second car of Grosjean can finish on the podium from his third-place starting position. "The car is good and Romain is on it as well so I think we have to expect to be on the podium tomorrow and if we can split the Red Bulls that would be good," he concluded.
