Kimi Raikkonen bit back at his former McLaren teammate David Coulthard on Friday, after the retired Scot questioned the Ferrari driver's car development abilities.

Amid Ferrari's current slump, 38-year-old Coulthard suggested the Italian team would do better to dump the 2007 World Champion and instead hire Fernando Alonso.

"The Finn has never shown me he can lead a car's development," Coulthard, now Red Bull's reserve driver and a pundit for British TV, wrote in a column.

To the Finnish broadcaster MTV3 in Bahrain, 29-year-old Raikkonen responded: "I don't know any driver who develops the cars."

"I think it's pretty funny to hear comments like those from people who never really achieved anything. It's none of my business, what a guy," the Finn added.

Martin Whitmarsh, boss of the McLaren team, also contradicted Coulthard's comments.


"The fact is, he is very sensitive to what makes a car quicker and is very intelligent -- he just doesn't always give it all away," said the Briton, referring to Raikkonen, who raced for the Mercedes-powered team between 2002 and 2006.

"Based on my experience of when he was here he was a very committed development driver. When he spoke those few words they were always very valuable," Whitmarsh added.

Good you know all the teams practice agendas

no points for practice yeh but it still shows Mclaren are moving forward.

so stop pissing on my chips you moody sod.

You need to lighten up and stop taking everything as a slight against your team.

The fact is Raikkonen is lazy and inebriated. He's not worth his massive pay cheque.
