Kimi
Raikkonen is out to quench his "lust for winning" at
this weekend's French Grand Prix, which he hopes will mark a
return to form.
The
Finn has failed to finish the last two races in the points,
dropping from first to fourth in the championship standings, seven
points behind BMW Sauber's Robert Kubica.
The
Ferrari driver reckons he had never been so hungry to win again,
as he aims to put the disappointment of the last races behind him.
"I
don't remember when I had such a great lust for winning,"
said Raikkonen. "The team had prepared a car, which was able
to be strong on all the tracks, but it didn't go well during the
last races. I don't like looking back and think about what
happened at the last race. I don't carry bad thoughts with me,
because that would just make me lose time, as you can't change the
result anyway. It's much better to concentrate on the upcoming GP
and try to get the best result possible."
Raikkonen,
winner of the French Grand Prix last season, believes Ferrari will
be very competitive again at the French track.
"I
think that things will look really different at Magny-Cours,
compared to the last GPs," he added. "It was here in
France last year that my season practically started all over again;
and this is what I need now, after the two races with no points. I
like this track and I think that it's perfect for our car. I think
we'll be competitive and that we can go for the maximum result."
