I think Ferrari didn't tell him what happened. Because Kimi said that he didn't feel anything and he didn't know why the tyre deflated.

Read on twitter that Kimi had problems again with DRS and electronics.. don't know if true

I think Kimi did a 3-stops (M-H-M), but maybe the first stop after the puncture doesn't count...

It is harsh! But it's in the rules now. Don't get why it has to be a double penalty though, I thought it would be either or.. penalty in the race or if you retire then for the next race. Like this it's too much..

At end of the day Kimi's race was ruined from the start, he had to drive basically a whole with the deflated tyre, it was just bad luck all around. I hoe things go better in Bahrain.

From the Autosport live ticker "BEN ANDERSON is just back from Ferrari, where he's been hearing from a pretty unhappy Alonso and Raikkonen."

it was indeed huge bad luck at the start. but based on the fp results and the fact that he was so fast many times i was hoping he could gain easier a few positions...which proved to be really really hard...

From fb, comment by Nicole

Kimi told MTV3: - For some reason the last set of tyres was better than those before. I wasn't sure if the floor had broken since I drove with empty tyres.

not sure i understand this, hope we'll see more from Kulta

Scowling Kimi Raikkonen. The Finn had no desire to comment on a GP which actually had finished at first lap when the McLaren of Magnussen touched him making the right rear deflate: "I do not know what happened with my tire - he said - my race was over there, then it was tough to handle the situation. We started well but ended badly, with the tire problem I could not do more. We need to look forward. "

The team principal Stefano Domenicali has seemed equally disappointed: "Kimi unfortunately saw his GP immediately ruined, he was not happy with the car and after that it was all the harder. Race in all its evidence showed the pace of Mercedes, we thought to manage the car. Certainly we have put in place, it is clear that we are not satisfied even if the situation in the standings is not bad. Development? Rather than talk, we have to do it, lining up all the things that we know to be better. "

Magnussen 'destroyed' our race - Raikkonen

Kimi Raikkonen was left ruing his early collision with Kevin Magnussen after admitting the collision ruined any hope he had of a meaningful challenge in Malaysia.

Raikkonen fancied his chances of a podium finish in the dry from sixth on the grid, but contact with Magnussen at the start of the second lap gave him a left rear puncture. He spent the remainder of the race out of the points and ended 12th, far off where he felt his form in free practice suggested he could have been and a long way off team-mate Fernando Alonso in fourth.

"I don't know much about it," Raikkonen said. "All I know his front wing hit me on my wheel but I didn't feel anything, so I have no idea when it was. Obviously it destroyed our race, not very good for us but I can't say much as I have not seen it. On Friday and Saturday we have been pretty ok until qualifying, which wasn't ideal and we weren't as happy with. We were still in an ok position for the race. I got a pretty good start but then got that issue with the rear tyre. I think how we started was good and for sure we could have been up there with Fernando. It all went down when I got hit so that was that. It is a shame because without it we could have had a pretty ok race. It's not where we want to be with the guys at the front. They are too fast right now but it is good for what we expected."

Despite a frustrating race at Sepang, Raikkonen is confident upgrades can improve Ferrari's prospects further in Bahrain next week.

"Hopefully next race we will have some new parts for the car I've been asking for and hopefully it makes a change in a nice way. Hopefully the front end will feel nicer. We will have to wait and see how we do on Friday there. I know on the test there was a some difficulties with handling but hopefully the new parts can sort that out. The new updates should make us a bit happier with the front end. It's a new part and we don't know if it will do what we expect. We have a good understanding of where we want to go and what to do. I expect if we make that happen we can go much faster, but how quickly we can do that we will see. All the good things we did a lot better here so we are going in the right direction."
