Ferrari team principal Maurizio Arrivabene is willing to accept Kimi Raikkonen's poor performance in Monaco as a one off.
Raikkonen damaged his front wing within a couple of laps of racing at Monaco, retiring from the race in 10th place after he started 11th with a five-place grid penalty for a gearbox change. Raikkonen was off the pace of teammate Sebastian Vettel in three of the weekend's four sessions ahead of Sunday's race, but Arrivabene was reluctant to criticise the performance of his Finnish driver after the race.
"Every driver that I've known from the past has a track that they don't like," he said. "Kimi doesn't like Monaco, even if he won once here. We need not to complain about Kimi but to accept that this race he was probably suffering.
"He will be pushing to do his best for the rest of the season."
Speaking about his season so far, Raikkonen added: "I think from my side it has been better. Obviously this weekend has been very bad, but that's how it went and we go for the next race."
