Ferrari's pace downplayed by Raikkonen
Ferrari's pre-season form has been downplayed Kimi Raikkonen, believing that only at Melbourne will we see who's on top.
Ferrari have dominated testing, leading both McLaren and Renault drivers Fernando Alonso and Giancarlo Fisichella to say that the Scuderia has the edge going into the season.
"I think the new car is very good," Kimi told Autosport magazine after testing in Bahrain.
"It seems to look okay here at least. It is difficult to say what the others are doing so we have to wait and see in Melbourne.
"We are happy with the way the car works. Like I said before, hopefully it is quick enough. We are very positive. We just have to wait for the first race to see where we are, but so far we are happy with what has been happening. Let's wait and see.
"With the new package it was very positive. Generally we are happy with how things work, so that is the main thing."
When asked about the title race the Finn said: "For sure we'll try to win the Championship, and win as many races as we can, going to the first race in the best way we can."
