  • Intro:

    Ferrari look ahead to the Formula One British Grand Prix at Silverstone.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Kimi Raikkonen, Ferrari driver (asked whether he prefers the old layout at Silverstone Circuit or the old one):

    "I think I prefer the old one, it was more traditional. Now it's a bit, obviously the pits are nicer because they are new, but the layout, I prefer the old one."

    Q: "In 2007 you took a commanding win (at Silverstone) for Scuderia Ferrari and that year also won the championship. What's your memories of that win in Britain?"

    "Yes, it was nice. It's the only time I won there in, Silverstone and obviously it's a good memories and, was a hard race, but, I usually have had pretty good time at Silverstone, but.... it was a good memory, but doesn't help this year unfortunately."

    Q: "Silverstone's one of the homes of motorsport. Can you feel when you're just driving around the track the fans and the thrill of, the ambience, the atmosphere?"

    "Yes, I think they're quite, quite good fans there and, of course, the weather can be a bit tricky sometimes, but they are very into their motorsport in England and, obviously most of the teams are from there, from that country, so Silverstone (is) an interesting place to go."

    Q: "Silverstone is now a mixed circuit with every type of corners, so what kinf of setting do you go for?"

    "My normal. Most of the races you have to be fast overall and obviously some corners might be a bit more tricky, tricky for your car or for the conditions, but no, it's a normal, normal story than any, any race."
