Kimi Raikkonen: Ferrari has clear rules over team orders

SILVERSTONE, U.K. -- Kimi Raikkonen says it is still too early in the season for him to start supporting teammate Sebastian Vettel in the championship.

Raikkonen finished second ahead of Vettel at the last round in Austria, but given his position in the drivers' championship, there were some suggestions he might be asked to move aside and let his teammate through. But Raikkonen says the rules dictating team orders are clear at Ferrari and there was never any suggestion that he would have to give up second place at the Red Bull Ring.

"We've always said that we have very clear rules and that's what we go by since I've been in this team," he said.
