In stark contrast the laconic Finn said:

"I am not going to promise anything or put my hand on my heart because maybe it is not going to happen."

They are not the words the tifosa -the Ferrari fanbase - wish to hear. And Raikkonen quickly added: "I always try to win - and this year we are going to do our best to be on the top positions on the podium."

Whether the 28-year-old can get back to his winning ways is something I, and many other paddock pundits, doubt very seriously.
