Formula One: Raikkonen still eyeing the title

LONDON: Kimi Raikkonen has yet to win a race for Lotus this year, but believes he can maintain his title bid if the team raise their game with a big step forward for the final six races of the season. Currently third in the title chase, he hopes he can stay there or improve in the flyaway events that take Formula One to Japan, South Korea, India, Abu Dhabi, United States and Brazil during October and November. “I think it’s very difficult to say, if I can take the title like this,” said Raikkonen. “There are too many things that could happen over the next few races. I feel you have to win at least one race to make sure you are world champion.”
