Ferrari has made 'considerable' improvement

F1 weekend approaching so more F1 news this week.

"Kimi Raikkonen can't wait to get back on the track at Barcelona, where the Spanish GP will be held on 13th May. After a week of testing at the Circuit de Catalunya, where he set the pace on his two days at the wheel, Raikkonen warned rivals that Ferrari has made a considerable step forward.

"We were able to improve the F2007 considerably, because the new components work really well and the car is now much closer to my style of driving," Raikkonen said. "I'm much more optimistic now: we can attack the best way possible, as my friend Markku Alen usually says. It's true that you never know how competitive you really are compared to the other teams during the test sessions; obviously for that we have to wait for the qualifying and the race; but the lap times give us some hints."

"As I already said over the last weeks, we have to improve the performance in qualifying," he added. "It was not really easy for me to get all the potential out of the car on a single lap, because we never managed to prepare it at the best. Now I'm really happy about the steps forward: although it's really difficult to overtake another car, even when it's slower, it makes things a lot easier when you want to win, when you can start from the front."
