We have to give it everything in the last two races - Raikkonen



We have to give it everything in the last two races - Raikkonen

During an incident-filled Japanese Grand Prix at the historic Suzuka Circuit,
Scuderia Ferrari driver Kimi Raikkonen finished just off the podium on a
fourth place. The Iceman looks back on his Japanese race and is already
previewing the last two races of the season in which he and the team will
fight for their third position in the Constructors' Championship.

Kimi Raikkonen: "At the Japanese GP we've made a step forward compared to
Singapore, where we weren't even able to fight for a place in the points: the
fourth place was the best result we could reach and we have to be satisfied
with it.

"When the car stays the same it's all about the circuit, which makes the
difference, together with how the tyres work.

"Having said that in Suzuka we never had the right downforce, as you could
see by our performance in the first sector, while we were competitive in the
second and the third. In the second part of the race we were pretty strong
when we were using the soft compound.

"In theory a fourth place is a great result, but as a team we need these five
points, which enabled us to keep the third place in the Constructors'
standings. There was no possibility to fight for a place on the podium. We
decided to start on the hard compound and I had some problems during the
first stint. Then, with the soft compound, the goal was to catch Heidfeld and
I was convinced that we could make it. Then there was the safety car and
that's where you usually hope gaining some position. But in Suzuka it was
really difficult staying in the slipstream and at the restart I tried to see
the end of the main straight to check if it was possible to overtake
Hamilton, but it wasn't even realistic to try.

"There were many accidents in this race, but I think that this is very
frequent in Suzuka. When you're driving at the limit there's always the
possibility to make mistakes. And this is a track where you have to pay a
high price for a mistake, due to the high speed and the narrow run-off areas.
Having said that I really like Suzuka's challenge: I was really happy to come
back after such a long time.

"We have to give it everything in the last two races to stay on the third
place even if McLaren is getting stronger. It will be difficult to keep them
behind us in Interlagos and Abu Dhabi. It's difficult to say how the F60 will
run on these tracks: we've had several surprises throughout the season.
Naturally I'd love to gain a place on the podium in Brazil, also because I'm
celebrating my 30th birthday there. It would be a nice present!"
