Kimi: We are in good shape

Kimi Raikkonen is upbeat about Ferrari's chances of making it three wins in a row in Barcelona this weekend.


After their opening race disaster in Australia, Ferrari hit back to win in both Malaysia and Bahrain. They were also at the top of their game during last week's four-day test at the Circuit de Catalunya.


Raikkonen believes things are looking good for the Maranello-based team ahead of this weekend's race in Spain.


"All in the team are in good shape," he wrote on his website.


"My own part of last week's test was not that good, but it doesn't matter. I think we should have enough speed for the weekend. All looks good.


"I expect Ferrari to be very competitive at Barcelona.


"But it's going to be close between the top teams. All the teams have updates for the first European race, which makes it more interesting.


"We have won the last two races and that makes our competitors attack even harder.


"We know we have had our ups and downs in the first races. Now I expect Ferrari to keep it up in Barcelona like it was in Malaysia and in Bahrain."


The Finn admits he likes sitting at the top of the Drivers' standings.


"Obviously I prefer being the leader than the chaser I used to be almost every season," he wrote.


"Keeping all the others behind me in the race would mean keeping them behind in the Championship too.


"My approach is to keep pushing 100 percent like the whole team.


"Things change very quickly in F1, so it's important to get the maximum amount of points possible for every grand prix.


"There is such a long way to go."
