Kimi Raikkonen has told Ferrari that he is 'determined' to make amends for his disappointing 2008 campaign as he eyes a second world title next year.

The Finn endured a difficult season - primarily frustrated by his inability to get the best out of the F2008 in qualifying – and was forced to play a supporting role to teammate Felipe Massa in the closing stages of the year.

But despite the troubles, Ferrari kept their faith in Raikkonen and team president Luca di Montezemolo has no doubt that the 2007 world champion will be on top form again.
"I joke that we had Kimi until Magny Cours, then he was busy and he asked a friend of his to drive," di Montezemolo told selected media including autosport.com at Maranello.This friend was a very good driver. He put on Kimi's helmet, but now we finally have the proper Kimi back again."
