From Planet F1:
He may be 19 points behind the leader in the World Championship, but Kimi Raikkonen is not giving up on his dream of winning back-to-back titles.
The Finn though will have his work cut out as he is now fourth in the Drivers' Championship after crashing out of the Belgian Grand Prix over the weekend.
The 28-year-old believes he can still win the title and says he will "fight right until the end".
"I had just one goal when I came to Belgium: victory. I just wanted to win the race, anything else would not have been enough for me, also because it meant that my competitors could have widened the gap," he told the Ferrari website.
"There's no point in complaining now. I did my very best, but it wasn't enough. These things happen. It's the same in ice hockey or in motocross: you give and you take, but you never give up.
"I'm not worried about what happened and I won't give up: I'll fight right until the end. The points will be counted at the end of the season: there are still five races to go. My actual position is not ideal, but as I've said many times I'm not someone who gives up easily."
Raikkonen hopes to get back on track this weekend during Ferrari's home grand prix at Monza.
"We're going back to the track immediately for the Italian GP. Monza is the Mecca of Ferrari's tifosi and I think that there will be a lot of Finnish fans, too.
"It's the fastest track of the year and it's good to go there, knowing that I can count on a car, which runs how I like it.
"I think that the F2008 can be really competitive: after the qualifying we'll see if it was enough. We'll give it all to win, for the team and for the fans.
"This is Ferrari's home race and it would be fantastic to win the Italian GP for the first time. I've got nothing to lose, so I'll give it all, going flat out."
