Kimi Raikkonen is looking to continue the strong run of form he has experienced at the Spa Francorchamps circuit in recent years.
The Finn has won three of the last four races held at the legendary circuit in the Ardennes forest and he believes the team have the ability to challenge for the top-step of the podium again this year.
“Spa is definitely my favourite circuit because it is quite different from other places,” said Raikkonen.
“It seems to be a good place for me and of course, last year I was leading until I had an accident on the second to last lap.”
“It’s a shame, because we’ve had a good thing going on there for many years.”

Fresh from his third podium finish of the season at last weekend’s European Grand Prix, Kimi Raikkonen is thrilled that the points he scored from his third-place finish in Valencia have helped to bolster Ferrari’s position in the standings. The Italian team are currently third in the constructors’ championship, five points ahead of traditional rivals McLaren.
“I really enjoy winning, but even a third place can give you some good feelings,” Raikkonen said. “We started the European Grand Prix from sixth on the starting grid, we had a good start and we managed to gain another place on the podium. We can hardly expect more than this. Our goal is to fight for a position amongst the first three teams and we’ve reached this goal.”
“The main goal is to hold the standard of the last races, which means that we have to try to get on the podium again,” he concluded. “I always loved racing at Spa where I’ve won many times since I started my career in the smaller racing series.” Formula 1
