Kovalainen has not set any goals

Kovalainen has not set any goals

29 January 2007

Heikki Kovalainen is looking forward to the start of his Formula 1 career as a race driver, when the 2007 season kicks off on 18 March at the Australian Grand Prix. However, Kovalainen has decided to not set himself any targets for his first year. His priority is to get things started and finish the race in Melbourne.

"I haven't really thought about the end of the season yet. I've just thought a little bit about the Melbourne race," Kovalainen said in his column for BBC. "Of course we want to be competitive and I am not happy if I haven't done some good races through the year, but at the moment setting goals for the end of the year is not a priority.

"The most important thing is to start the season well, try to finish the race in Melbourne and score some points. After that we need to improve all year long. Of course it would be nice to do some really good races, be on the podium and even win a race. That's why everyone is in F1. They want to win.

"But at the moment I really haven't set any goals for where I want to be at the end of the year. I want to do the first race first."
