Raikkonen wants Brazil win
30 October 2008While Kimi Raikkonen has made it clear that he will help team mate Felipe Massa win the drivers' championship, not least by giving second place to the Brazilian at the Chinese Grand Prix, Raikkonen says he'd like nothing more than to finish a difficult season with a race win.
"I want to fight for victory in Brazil and celebrate a good result with the team," Raikkonen said. "This would give me a good feeling for the winter and the upcoming season. There are not so many positive things for me I achieved over the last season. We have to analyse every single detail of what happened and try to learn from our mistakes to improve everything for next year. But now we have to give it all at the last race of the 2008 season."
"After the Chinese GP I relaxed a bit," he added, "We have to wait for Friday's practice sessions to see what our chances might be this year. It will be very hard with McLaren in the qualifying. Over the last two races I had a much better feeling with the car in Q3, when I had a bigger fuel load. It's important to believe in the car and the possibility to attack, this is what makes the difference. I hope that we can find the right set up, after we've been very close for a couple of times. At the beginning of the year things went very well, but then we lost track and we couldn't get back. It was a very long year and I can't wait to have a break."
