Heikki Kovalainen not aiming for pole in Melbourne 

McLaren’s driver Heikki Kovalainen, has said that his goal for the opening race in Australia is not to gain the pole position or ‘a top position’. “I need to do many things correctly and I’m certainly not aiming for pole position in Melbourne,” the Finn told to Reuters news agency. “I need all weekend to work better with my engineers, my mechanics, the whole team to make sure the car is well set up and I am full of confidence for qualifying and the race. Hopefully towards the end of the season I can fight for the top positions and if things go well, even early on. But for the moment the priority is just to start better than last year and not aim for pole”.
