Raikkonen: We'll give it all to win at Monza

10 September 2008

Ferrari driver Kimi Raikkonen failed to finish in the last two races. Even though there are five races left on the calendar it will become very hard for the Finn to win the championship again this season. At the upcoming weekend in Monza Raikkonen expects the F2008 to be very competitive.

"We're going back to the track immediately for the Italian GP. Monza is the Mecca of Ferrari's tifosi and I think that there will be a lot of Finnish fans, too," Raikkonen said looking ahead of the upcoming Italian Grand Prix. "It's the fastest track of the year and it's good to go there, knowing that I can count on a car, which runs how I like it.

"Last year I had a nasty accident on Saturday morning: I hit the wall and the impact was tremendous, which made it the most difficult weekend of the season. We had a very productive test session on this track before Spa. I think that the F2008 can be really competitive: after the Qualifying we'll see if it was enough.

"We'll give it all to win, for the Team and for the fans. This is Ferrari's home race and it would be fantastic to win the Italian GP for the first time. I've got nothing to loose, so I'll give it all, going flat out."
