Räikkönen wants to see higher

In Monaco, Kimi Räikkönen got on the podium, his car seeming to better adapt to circuits requiring little aerodynamic downforce. It was therefore with a certain enthusiasm that the Finn arrived in Hungary, the Hungaroring was also renowned for its low and medium speed turns, for non-existent straight lines. He is also counting on developments in his Ferrari to achieve good performance. “ My car has some new items. A new wing that we already had during the last race but only partially. We have some new parts on the flat bottom and the rear wing. I hope this helps us. This circuit is a bit like Monaco, I think we can have a better weekend than the previous one. »

If Ferrari is one of the last two teams, with McLaren, to equip his cars with SREC (KERS in English), Kimi Räikkönen thinks that it is an advantage. “ It can help at the start if there is a long straight before the first corner. We find an advantage in being equipped with the SREC, with which we are always faster. This is a good thing. » The Finn hopes that, for the end of the championship, Ferrari will be able to place behind Brawn and Red Bull. " The team?s goal is to try to finish in third place in the championship. This is what we are fighting for. For my part, I will try to glean as many points as possible. »
