France Friday quotes: FerrariKimi Raikkonen – 2nd: "I would say that this was
quite a positive day. We worked well and I think we can be competitive
this weekend. The car went well right from the morning, but there is
still room for improvement. However, as usual on a Friday, it is hard
to say what the real pecking order is in the field."The performance of the two types of tyre we have here is pretty
similar, even if I never managed to get a clean run with the softer on
and so it’s hard for me to say which is quicker."Alonso: Ferrari will be hard to beat
Kimi on top! Nice start to the weekend, hopefully he can make his Ferrari go faster through the las two practise sessions and take pole position.

Thursday’s press conference – FranceQ. Kimi, at the end of the Silverstone test the team was 0.4s quicker than anyone else. Were you encouraged by that?
Kimi Raikkonen: I think we had quite a good test. The car
felt good straight away. The race is always different to testing, but I
think we had a good test.Q. It’s nearly half season now; is this where you would expect to be or are you a little bit disappointed, frustrated?
KR: For sure we don’t expect to be in this position but
that’s racing and I think we just try to improve, try to get things how
we like and try to start winning races and that’s our main goal.Q. Does it make a difference now that we are away from Monaco, the two overseas races, back in Europe?
KR: I hope so, I hope it makes a difference to the results
but as I said, testing is always one thing but the racing is completely
different. We will see tomorrow how the car is to know whether we can.
But hopefully we can challenge the McLarens.Q. (Ian Parkes – The Press Association) Kimi, Luca di Montezemolo
said in Gazzetta dello Sport last week that we hadn’t seen the real you
yet this season, a driver that puts fear into other drivers. Do you
feel we’ve not seen the real you and if so why not?KR: Like I’ve said before, I think I expect better results
but there are certain things that haven’t been right and we try to
improve those and then hopefully at some point we will get it right and
we can get the results that we want and I can drive how I want. This
seems to take a bit of a longer time.Q. (Paolo Ianieri – La Gazzetta dello Sport) Kimi, we know that
testing is one thing and racing is another, but do you thing that the
hard times for Ferrari are over and that here you will be able to fight
closer for victory?KR: As I said, we don’t know because you can always see the
results from testing but you don’t know what the other teams are doing.
I think we have improved the car, for sure. The car felt very good at
Silverstone but this a different circuit, a different place. We need to
wait until the race, until the qualifying to see how it goes, but we
have a positive feeling about it.Q. (Paolo Ianieri – La Gazzetta dello Sport) There were also some
rumours about you, Kimi, about Michael Schumacher coming back, in your
place or you swapping places with Fernando. What do you say about those
things? Do they disturb you or you just don’t care?KR: I haven’t read any magazines for a long time, so I don’t
know anything about it, but I don’t care really what they talk about. I
think I’m in a pretty safe place.Q. (Paolo Ianieri – La Gazzetta dello Sport) Kimi, one thing that
you still seem to be struggling with are the starts. Do you feel that
you still have problems or is it one of those things that happens by
chance?KR: No, I think it just happens by accident. The last two
races I know the start has been bad, but it is not something that I can
really change. There is no grip off the line and it is the system that
really makes the start after you let go off the clutch, but that was
just a bad thing. We had different tyres to the rest last race, but I
think we will improve the starts as we have a new part for the clutch
so we should be better.Q. (Livio Oricchio – O Estado de Sao Paulo) Kimi, at the last
three circuits we did not have any medium or high-speed curves, which
is not the case at this race or at Silverstone. Can this mean it will
help Ferrari?KR: I think so, we have different speed corners in every
race, but maybe the circuit itself was not ideal for us. I hope it is
different here, but like I said, in testing we did a good time, but
testing is different to racing. We expect to be stronger, but I don’t
know how much so we’ll have to wait to the race to see.
