World champion Kimi R\u00e4ikk\u00f6nen believes that he and his team Ferrari will find it easier to multiply victories next season.<\/p>\n
The Finn celebrated with Ferrari his final victory with a celebration at Mugello, Italy, where he was cheered by thousands of tifosi in the stands.<\/p>\n
And R\u00e4ikk\u00f6nen, who last week won the title in Brazil against all odds, told reporters: “Next year should be easier not only for me but also for the team.”<\/p>\n
\u00ab This year, we had some difficulties getting the car set up the way I wanted. We will see what we do for the new car. It is very difficult to say at this stage how good the car will be, \u00bb he added.<\/p>\n
\u00ab But we are expecting a lot. We will see next year. We have a good feeling. \u00bb<\/p>\n
R\u00e4ikk\u00f6nen also stated that he was looking forward to the traction ban, which will take effect next season, and expressed his belief that the ban will help improve racing.<\/p>\n
\u00ab When I arrived in Formula 1, we had traction control. I think it will be enjoyable and more difficult, too, to do without it. And by no longer having traction control, this will give us more opportunities to overtake, \u00bb he commented.<\/p>\n
His teammate Felipe Massa, however, is more reserved, as he admitted to never having driven an F1 car without traction control.<\/p>\n
\u00ab I have not yet driven vehicles without traction, but it’s just a matter of getting used to it, \u00bb the Brazilian said.<\/p>\n
\u00ab We will see if we need to change our driving style or if we need to change the car, \u00bb concluded Massa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
