Ferrari thinks Raikkonen will win F1 title again

Piero Ferrari

Ferrari's vice president Piero Ferrari believes Kimi Raikkonen will be favorite to repeat his word title in 2008.

"Yes, definitely," Ferrari told Gazzetta dello Sport when asked if Raikkonen was favorite for next season. "In the first season he broke the ice, found confidence and belief in the team.

"He will have a car that better suits his driving style, because I think that was the problem at one time last year: his style did not suit the F2007 and vice versa."

"The F2007 wasn't always the fastest car nor the most reliable," Ferrari added. "But Ferrari did a perfect job in the last race and that's how we won.

"The F2008 must be more reliable, because to get the titles you need to finish the races. I'm less worried about performance."

"I think there will be little change. Everyone has his own way of dealing with things, but at the top there's a solid organization as could be seen last year. In 2008 there are fewer new people, so I don't expect any traumas."
