Kimi Raikkonen: this season should be even better

After two test days behind the wheel of the E21 Kimi Raikkonen told the press service of the Lotus F1 impressions about the new car.
Question: are you Satisfied with your new machine?
Kimi Raikkonen: She makes a very good impression. We made a few changes in the settings and did a great job, but it comes at a great value. The first sensations machine is good, and this is important. Of course, you have to work hard on many issues, but so far I'm satisfied.
Question: In the final day of testing in Jerez you were faster...
Kimi Raikkonen: We headed Protocol Friday, but on the tests is not what it says. Our main goal was to test various components, but I also managed to get the settings that are no longer fit my preferences. Of course, there is still a lot of work, but this is what we do on the tests. The car behaves quite confident, and we seem to have a clear idea of what to do next. Let's see what awaits us in Barcelona.
Question: are There any specific areas where you would like to improve?
Kimi Raikkonen: This is the most common area that should always work, when I go test the new machine. We have been improving my position in the cockpit, regulated belts that I was comfortable behind the wheel, then look for the right settings and the optimal balance, so that I could attack more aggressively. All this work proceeded in parallel with the testing of new components, but we made good progress.
Question: Were there any questions on the reliability of the machine?
Kimi Raikkonen: For the last two days we had some small problems, but on the tests you are always ready for such things, and it is better to solve problems than to face them for the Grand Prix. So far we have worked only a couple of days on the tests, and to Melbourne, we still have many things to catch.
Question: What are your expectations on the eve of the new season?
Kimi Raikkonen: Very positive. I already play in Lotus for a year, so the season will go better. I know the team, and she knows me, so that we can very effectively to cooperate. Last year we had a good machine that allowed us to win the race. While E21 leaves a good feeling, and the following tests on the car will be a lot of technical innovations. Want to achieve better results than last year is our goal. I cannot guarantee that will be able to achieve it, but of course, we will try.
