Lotus racing driver, Kimi Raikkonen was convinced that the Lotus team can still win F1 races this season in control despite being overpowered by F1 racing team Red Bull. Towards convening in Abu Dhabi F1 race this weekend, he was curious to taste victory this season.

Kimi was never won, but the rider who had become the 2007 F1 world champion is the most consistent rider to finish the race this season.

"Maybe, with a little luck, I can do it. I felt there was no reason for me not to win a race. Course it will not be easy, and may need a little luck on our side, we'll see," he said on ESPN F1 .

In fact, Kimi was the only driver to finish the race to finish in 17 series that has been held without though he had failed to finish.

Although the E20 Lotus race car is not as competitive as the Red Bull RB8 car or a Ferrari F2012, but Kimi had several podium finishes, three times in antarnya he managed to reach the podium in both the F1 Bahrain GP, ​​F1 European GP (Valencia), and the Hungarian F1 GP. In addition, Kimi also has three times won the third podium in Spain, Germany, and Belgium.

However, many predicted the hope Kimi to win the victory will be gone after the Red Bull driver, Sebastian Vettel was always in control of the race with a win in the last four races in succession.

Because, when Vettel dominant win in the last four races, the four-race series, Kimi and his teammate, Romain Grosjean never be on the podium again. The results obtained in the four series that Kimi is twice reached the sixth position (Singapore and Japan), and then finished fifth in Korea and the seventh in India.

"I think I could drive the car at high speed in the last few races, but was not able to reach the podium. Which is why I was disappointed with my decision to change the car settings. Might not run as expected at the time of the qualifying session, but by the time we race can be performed quickly. A time to be the fastest, "said Kimi.

One other thing to note Kimi in the last few races, is to use an E20 car, he was never able to overtake other riders in front of him on the straight track.

"So, that's what makes me feel disappointed. I was never able to overtake people on the track straight. Hopefully I can improve the car's performance and can solve the problems that exist at the time of qualification or other problems," he said.

Although never reaching the podium again in the last four races, including in India F1, Kimi said he was still included in the pack that still has a chance to be world champion this season. Three races left this season, and the difference in points between him and Vettel is 67 points. Mathematically he still has a chance.

"I think I still have a chance, so I'll keep trying to catch up. Probably will never happen they failed to finish in one of the last three races, and we were able to achieve victory in several races., So I do not foresee it trjadi, but who knows, "he said.

To be sure, Kimi said, he's still trying to do their best in the face of the last three races and grab as many points as possible that can be achieved, and he hopes to reach the podium.

The future is clear with Lotus Kimi. Kimi will return to that team's 2013 season with the announcement extend the contract for another year.
