Kimi Raikkonen insists his Ferrari will work better in summer conditions, ahead of this weekend’s European Grand Prix.

The Ferrari driver finished a distant sixth in Canada, almost a minute behind team-mate Sebastian Vettel.

The Finn claims his tyres struggled in the cool conditions, and he is looking to get back towards the front this weekend.

"It's a lot of small things, and when you add them together with the conditions we had - it was very cold - it was just tricky to make the tyres work as we want," he said

"Probably the set-up could have been better in certain places, but sometimes it's very hard to make the right things with the set-up if the tyres don't work in the first place.

"If you struggle to switch them on it dictates so much.

"This year has been quite cold most races and that hasn't helped.

"We know we like it more when it's warmer and it's more easy to make the tyres work, but it's the same for everyone, we just need to make a better job out of it."
