Raikkonen begins fighting talk ahead of Monaco Grand Prix

Kimi Raikkonen thinks the Monaco circuit will suit the Ferrari car as they go back into catch up mode against Mercedes. Ferrari is now 27 points behind Mercedes in the Constructors championship.

The fighting talk has begun. Ferrari needs to rebuild the foundations, similar to what Mercedes have done, to prevent the German team from running away.

Monaco’s heavy braking, traction zones and low-speed nimbleness are aspects that are likely to play into the Italian team's hands. The hypersoft will also make their debut at this Grand Prix adding another likely advantage in just over a weeks time.

Kimi went on to admit these things, seemingly fairly optimistic about the Monaco race.

The Fin has retired from two races in 2018. These are the only races he hasn’t appeared on the podium. It’s been a steady start for the steady man!
