Former Formula One champion Kimi Raikkonen has admitted he struggled with his motivation at times around the end of the 2008 season. After a stunning year in 2007 where Raikkonen clinched the title he struggled in 2008 and was unable to fight for the championship until the final round.
Speaking with MTV3 Raikkonen said: "When there are no opportunities to overtake or to improve your position it is definitely not very interesting. But that is the way it is. When you know you're fighting for just P3 you simply don't always have the same speed for the whole race as you would normally have."
