Kimi Raikkonen says his 2017 F🍒ormula 1 campaign was "far from what I wanted" after enduring his fourth straight season without a race ♎win, with Ferrari missing out on both titles.

Ferrari entered the year with an edge over Mercedes, allowing Sebastian Vettel to lead the drivers' championship right the way 🐻up to the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, taking four wins through the opening half of the year.

While𓆉 Vettel led Ferrari's charge before tailing off and losing out in the drivers' title race to Lewis Hamilton, Raikkonen was unable to match his teammate's form, failing to take a single race win through the season so far.

With one race to go in Abu Dhabi this weekend, Raikkonen offered an honest, brutal assessment of his season,꧋ admitting it had not met his expectations after a strong off-season.

"You know what happened. It is far from 🤪what I wanted, but it is where we ended up," Rai𒀰kkonen said.

"That i♛s how it goes. There is one race to go. We'll try to make the best out of it and then obviosuly start n🐬ext year.

"There were some good races, so🧸me not good races where we haven't finished, but that is part of racing."

Mercedes has walked away wit𒀰h both titles in 2017 after clinching the constructors' championship three races ago, despite team executive Niki Lauda claiming the German marque had a slower car than Ferrari all year long.

"I think we have had a good car," Raikkonen said in response. "Probably not the best always, but it has been strong prett🦄y much everywhere.

"But in th꧂e end, the points count and whoever has the best car wins. Next time might be a different circuit, different conditions - it is nꦑot very straightforward when you say it is one car.

"It depends on conditions and layouts. In the end, the fact is whoever has the most points made the 🌳best out of the whole year, and it is like that."
