Kimi Raikkonen feels cautious about Lotus updates ahead of 2012 Korean GP ? Formula 1 news
Lotus driver, Kimi Raikkonen is feeling cautious about the new updates which his team has planned to launch in the 2012 Korean Grand Prix.
The Enstone based team has planned to come up with a new Coanda-effect exhaust design in the upcoming race and the team principal, Eric Boullier is hoping to see considerable improvement in the car?s pace. However, Raikkonen believes that he cannot say anything about the team?s update package until he tests them on track during the free practice.
?You have to be [positive] don't you, otherwise you wouldn't print any of this stuff!? Raikkonen said. ?But we will see tomorrow, we know numbers from wind tunnel and calculations but until we run anything we don't really know what it's going to bring us. So hopefully it works as we expect and it will improve our position a little but we should know after practices tomorrow.?
The Finnish driver has performed tremendously well in the season until now and has impressed everyone with his incredible driving skills. At present, he is standing at third place in the drivers? championship. Furthermore, he is ahead of Lewis Hamilton and is behind his major rival, Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull Racing.
Even though, he is quite behind the current leader in the drivers? championship, Fernando Alonso of Ferrari. Nevertheless, he is confidently looking forward to come up stronger in the remainder of the season to win the championship title.
?For me it doesn't matter if I'm second or tenth, it makes no difference,? he added. ?I'd probably rather be out of second or third place so I don't have to go to the prize giving!?
Besides, he said that they have struggled with their qualifying pace in almost all the races until now due to which they could not secure competitive positions. Nonetheless, he said that they are trying their best to improve their qualifying pace in the remaining five races of the current season so as to be able to start from higher grid slots to attain good results.
Let?s see how the 2007 world champion performs in the forthcoming race which is to be held at Korea International Circuit this weekend.
