Question: Kimi, how are you feeling two weeks before the start of the season?

Kimi Raikkonen: I feel okay and the car seems to be good. So let’s wait and see how we are doing at the first race.

Question: Will reliability be the biggest concern this year for everybody?

Kimi Raikkonen: Well, the rules are new and with KERS there are always chances that something could go wrong, as we haven’t had so much testing with it. But I think we are on a pretty good level with it, so hopefully everything goes well.

Question: Last year you didn’t seem to have a car that you really enjoyed driving. Do you feel more comfortable in the F60?

Kimi Raikkonen: I am happy with how the car works now. But of course testing is something very different to racing and we are going to many different tracks, so we will have to wait and see. But as I said, for now I am pretty happy and the rest we will see in a few weeks.

Question: The car is certainly different, but do you feel different to last year?

Kimi Raikkonen: I don’t know anything about a different feeling. It’s a new season, so it’s hard to know what to expect. Of course with the rule changes the handling changes a little bit and it can get tricky if it’s bad weather, but then that goes for everybody. I am ready to go racing, and then we will see how well we can do.

Question: Last season you started as the reigning world champion, now you are the hunter again. Which role do you like more?

Kimi Raikkonen: I don’t mind. Everybody starts from the same level so hopefully we can score good points in the first few races and go from there.

Question: Who do you see as your main competitors this year? The McLaren duo or is there somebody else?

Kimi Raikkonen: It could be all tight - but then again, it might not be. I don’t know more than anybody else - I just see the times. That’s it.
