Kimi in bullish mood for Silverstone

Kimi Raikkonen is in bullish mood about his chances in the British Grand Prix this weekend after stealing his second win of the season from team mate Felipe Massa at Magny Cours.

"I think we had a very good test there so hopefully we get the parts that we tried there for the race," Raikkonen said. "We were not able to get all of them here so that should help us. Our car seems to work well there. Testing is always testing but I think we are pretty confident that we're going to have good speed there also. You never know; the weather there can be very tricky but we go there this weekend and we try to do the best and hopefully can try to win."

"We try to improve them all the time and I think the work is starting to pay off now," he added. "It maybe took longer than we expected but I think in the end that it's good that we got the win and we're kind of back in the right place now. We just need to keep it up and improve."
