Kimi Raikkonen was disappointed not to come away from the Belgian Grand Prix weekend with a better result.
Raikkonen pulled out of qualifying in the second session when his car suffered a loss of oil pressure and stopped at Stavelot. Combined with a penalty for changing his gearbox, the breakdown meant he qualified 16th on the grid and spent Sunday's race picking his way through the field to seventh.
"Obviously it's disappointing, not just for me but for the team," Raikkonen said. "We had two issues this weekend and it hurt on both cars quite badly. Like I said, we are doing the right things as a team, it just seems we're not really getting the results. We'll keep working and improving things and hopefully we'll get the results at some point."
Raikkonen said Ferrari struggled to match the Mercedes-powered cars at Spa-Francorchamps and is prepared for more of the same in two weeks in Monza.
"The car has been handling very well all weekend. Our result has a lot to do with what happened yesterday but if you look at qualifying, most cars were Mercedes-powered there in the top 10 so obviously, they have a little edge in this kind of circuit. It will really help to have a stronger weekend next time out at our home grand prix. Again there are a lot of straight lines so it's not going to be easy, especially against all those [Mercedes powered] cars but then I think we're bringing some new stuff and that will help us to be at least in the fight there."
