Raikkonen hopes to repeat Ferrari's one-two in Brazil

Kimi Raikkonen claimed his Formula One championship in Brazil last season so the Finn will travel to Brazil with great memories. Raikkonen hopes the team is able to repeat last year's one-two win at Interlagos.

The Formula 1 drivers will travel to Brazil next week for the final round in the 2008 F1 championship. Speaking about the upcoming Brazilian Grand Prix Kimi Raikkonen said: "Now we're heading to Brazil, where I had the best weekend of my life last year: I'll never forget this moment. Going back will charge me even more I guess. We'll try to repeat our one-two win from last year and then we'll calculate the outcome of the standings and we'll see where we are in the two championships.

"I'll have the same approach as in the last two races. The qualifying will be fundamental and it would be nice to start from the front row once more: if this should happen, let's hope that the situation after the first corner will be different. I gained the best possible result in China, considering that we couldn't fight for the win.

"Once you don't fight for the title anymore for me it doesn't make a difference if I come in second or third, as long as the points for Ferrari remain the same. The Team is fighting in both championships: I'd be glad if I could do something for Felipe, that he can win the title and Ferrari will be again victorious in the Constructors' championships in the last race of the season."
