Now Kimi's red cars break down

(GMM) Alex Zanardi has joined a growing list of skeptics who think Kimi Raikkonen and Ferrari may not be a match made in heaven.

Finn Raikkonen, 27, has moved to the Maranello based team to replace the retiring Michael Schumacher, but some have suggested that he is not as complete a package as the great German.

"Raikkonen went to Ferrari because his McLarens always broke down," Italian Zanardi, who last drove in formula one for Williams in 1999, told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

He continued: "But now it seems like his red car is always broken and (Ron) Dennis' machines run like clockwork."

Zanardi singles out reigning back to back title winner Fernando Alonso as his favorite for the 2007 season, but he also vowed to keep an eye on the Spaniard's rookie teammate.

"Hamilton looks fast and could make life difficult for Alonso," Zanardi predicted.
