Worry and Pole for Raikkonen

Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen has to be happy to be on the pole for the Australian Grand Prix, but also worried because his teammate's car failed. This quote is from Yahoo:
Massa experienced gear-box problems in the second session of qualifying and failed to register a time that would have pitched him into the final session with the top ten cars vying for favourable grid positions. Instead Massa, who won the final Brazil GP last season, will have to start from outside of the eighth row, much like he did in last year's Australian race where he was subsequently knocked out in the opening lap.
Raikkonen says he's not worried about Massa's gearbox failure:
"I don't know exactly what the problem was but hopefully it's just a one-off and we won't have that tomorrow.  Of course, it's a concern but hopefully we can work it out."
