Raikkonen making excuses already

With the pressure of following in the footsteps of F1's greatest-ever driver Michael Schumacher, Kimi Raikkonen is already making excuses for his lackluster performance, blaming the new-generation Bridgestone tires. BMW Sauber’s Robert Kubica was the first driver to conclude that he may have to adapt his style to suit the Bridgestones following the pre-Christmas winter tests. When asked at this week's Jerez test if the Bridgestones suit his driving style, Raikkonen replied: “no, not really. I think we need to work on the car to make it work for me," he was quoted as saying by autosport.com.
