Raikkonen: I want more

Raikkonen: I want more

Kimi Raikkonen says he's disappointed not to have yet won a grand prix this season and is intent on changing that in Britain.

Raikkonen has had a mixed start to his comeback into Formula One with Lotus.

While the Finn is struggling with steering issues with his E20 he has enjoyed three podium finishes, two of which were runner-up results.

However, Raikkonen is no longer happy with just a podium finish, the 2007 World Champion wants a win.

"If you asked me before the start of the season whether I would be happy with podiums I would have said yes, but now I've had some good results, I want more," Raikkonen said.

"In the last few races the results haven't been as strong as I've wanted. We've finished well but I'm disappointed not to have a win yet.

"We just have to get everything together and I'm sure it can come."

Looking ahead to the next race on the calendar, the British GP, Raikkonen is hoping for a repeat of the 2007 Silverstone victory which played a huge role in his Championship victory.

"When you win in Silverstone, it gives such a good feeling. You have to get everything exactly right.

"I won there in Formula Renault and then with Ferrari in 2007. It would be fantastic to win again there, especially with the factory just down the road. I'm sure we would have some fantastic celebrations."
