We have to win and that's it - Raikkonen

By on

Kimi Raikkonen, who will celebrate his 28th birthday in Sao Paulo, is looking forward to the final race of the season. The Finnish Ferrari driver is still in the running for the title as he's only 7 points behind leader Hamilton and 3 behind Alonso, who's second in the standings.

Raikkonen knows that even if he wins the race, it's not up to him if he takes his first Championship title or not: "At Interlagos we need a strong package, especially the engine is very important for the long rising main straight. I will start into this race the same way as into the last two. My aim is to win and the rest is not up to me. It is a similar situation as in 2003, when I lost the title to Michael. But at a certain point during the Japanese GP it was a really close call. Hamilton has seven points more than us: there's not much to calculate. We have to win and that's it."
