Lotus driver Kimi Raikkonen has said that they have fallen quite off the pace as compared to their major rivals which include, Red Bull Racing, McLaren and Ferrari.

Raikkonen struggled with the pace of his car during the Singapore Grand Prix which was held at Marina Bay Street Circuit and could only secure sixth place finish. Although, he was a little bit disappointed over his lack of pace in the last race, nevertheless, he believes that they can surely take the advantage of their update package and can improve their performance in the remainder of the season.

Moreover, he said that they are positively looking forward perform well in the Japanese GP which is to be held at Suzuka this weekend. He also said that they have planned to launch some essential updates in the Korean GP with which they hope to attain a competitive edge over other rivals.

“I think we've fallen off a little bit from the guys; the others have improved,” Raikkonen said. “We have some small parts - new parts - here so hopefully it will get us back more where we were being before. But I think we have to try to do the best over the weekend here and hopefully then for Korea we should get bigger improvements so if that works we should improve a bit more so we'll see.”

Kimi Raikkonen is not expecting a dramatic upturn in Lotus' form before a major update package arrives at the Korean Grand Prix.
Although the Finn is still gunning for the world championship, Raikkonen is cautious about what he can achieve in Japan this weekend judging by the recent form of his team.
"We have not been even close in the last races, so hopefully we can stronger but I'm not really hoping that we are suddenly going to be fastest," explained Raikkonen.
"We saw what happened in the last races, but maybe I am wrong. I hope so..."
As AUTOSPORT revealed last week, Lotus is planning to introduce a raft of aerodynamic developments to its E20 for next week's event in Korea.
