Raikkonen really wants to win at Indy

Kimi Raikkonen is in a difficult period at the moment. After a strong performance in the first three races of the season he was unable to show a strong performance in the last three races. "Sure, now I'm 21 points behind Hamilton, but I'm certain that there will be difficult moments even for him," Raikkonen now says.

Raikkonen knows that the current situation is not an easy one for him: "The last three races have not been what I expected. We do our best to get back to the level of the first three races. I really want to win, because that would help us a lot."

The Finn obviously hopes he can win, but said: "It's difficult to say what we expect from IMS. I enjoy the circuit and it has always been a good circuit for Ferrari. There is a very long straight, where you need to have a good speed, but at the same moment the infield section is very tight and there are some corners you have to take with the smallest gears. Fortunately you are able to overtake at the end of the straight."
