HUNGARORING -- After a disappointing first half of the 2017 season, Kimi Raikkonen is determined to build on his strong performance at the British Grand Prix and trigger a turnaround in his form.
While teammate Sebastian Vettel has won three races and leads the championship, Raikkonen has claimed just three podiums and languishes 79 points behind the other Ferrari. The Finn's poor form prompted Ferrari president Sergio Marchionne to label him a "laggard" before the Austrian Grand Prix, though it is understood the team would be willing to retain Raikkonen for 2018 if he took a significant pay cut.
