Ferrari
team boss Stefano Domenicali admitted he was very happy to see
Kimi Raikkonen back on form at the Monaco Grand Prix. The Finn,
who has not won a race in over a year, finished on the podium for
the first time since last year's Brazilian Grand Prix.
He
also came close to securing his first pole position of the year,
but was beaten by Jenson Button by just 0.025 seconds. Domenicali
said he was delighted to see Raikkonen show the kind of form that
helped him take the title in 2007. The Italian also claimed
Ferrari is not on the right track following a poor start to the
season.
"We're
heading in the right direction, which is very important after the
first part of this very difficult championship," said
Domenicali. "The positive signs we've seen at Barcelona have
been confirmed at Monaco. I'm particularly happy for Kimi, he had
a wonderful weekend: he missed the pole by a blink of the eye and
in the race he might have done better, if there hadn't been the
problem during his second pitstop. On a track where talent is
important Kimi has shown what he is able to do."
