Kimi Raikkonen is not giving up the tittle just yet, Ferrari’s injunction verdict to be revealed later today
Ferrari’s one time World Champion Kimi Raikkonen has revealed to reporters that he will still continue his fight for the championship, as he believes that his upgraded F60 racer is up for the challenge at this week’s Monaco Grand Prix at Monte Carlo. He revealed that “the situation in the championship is very difficult, given that both me and Felipe have only managed to score three points each.”
He also went on to say; “but we won’t be giving up and we continue to work hard to get back on top and, only at the end, will it be worth adding up the points. The car has improved since the earlier races and so it should mean we are more competitive, although it’s best to wait until Thursday’s free practice to get a clearer picture.”
Meanwhile in another development, Ferrari’s injunction verdict will be revealed by the French courts later today. As part of its efforts to shoot down the 2010 budget cap system, the Italian squad has recently applied for an injunction against the FIA’s budget cap system from the French courts, and with the injunction (if successful), Ferrari can practically stop the governing body from implementing the controversial system, which has received mixed responses from various teams.
Smaller, new teams like USGPE, Lola and Litespeed GP are cheering for it due to its low budget incentives, while bigger teams like Toyota, Red Bull and Renault are pretty much against it and have even threatened to quit the sport. In my honest opinion, I don’t think the French courts will favor Ferrari, but who knows?
