Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen Expects Improvement in Europe

Kimi Raikkonen, Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro driver, seems unable to match the speed of Brawn GP F1 and Red Bull Racing cars and the condition doesn't seem to change any time soon. Raikkonen came 18th fastest in the second session on Friday afternoon. Ferrari failed to collect any points in the first three Grands Prix, made Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro spotted last in the F1 constructors' championship. Raikkonen expects Ferrari's fortunes to improve when the F1 race moved to Europe. The 2009 first European F1 Grand Prix will start on May 10 in Barcelona. Before then there is one more race to be held outside Europe, the upcoming Bahrain F1 Grand Prix, where Williams' Nico Rosberg dominated practice yesterday.
