Ferrari still has advantage - Raikkonen

Lewis Hamilton may have claimed that McLaren has closed the gap right up on Ferrari since the first round of the season in Australia, but fellow championship leader Kimi Raikkonen insists the prancing horse still enjoys a competitive advantage.

"I think maybe they are a little bit closer than in the first race, but then Australia is always a bit special," Raikkonen said. "I think we still have a little edge on them but we just need to keep working and push hard."

Raikkonen warned that Ferrari has a number of new parts coming for the car in the next test ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix.

"I think we are going to get more parts for the next test and I'm pretty positive that it's going to change things quite a lot," he warned.

"I think we are in a good position after three races and we just need to improve our situation - or mine - a little bit and we can have a good season, but it's going to be hard this year," Raikkonen went on. "Everybody is very close to one another every race so it's going to be a difficult season."
