Raikkonen had no fear of Vettel in Hungary
Kimi Raikkonen said he was not worried about losing second place to Sebastian Vettel in the closing stages of the Hungarian Grand Prix.
Raikkonen fended off Vettel in the final ten laps despite being on tyres 13 laps older than the Red Bulls. Vettel, who had made three pit stops to Raikkonen's two, tried to pass three laps from the end at Turn 4 but was left with nowhere to go and had to take to the run off zone.
"I knew it was going to be a bit tight, but the tyres felt good with 10 laps to go and it was only in the last two laps that they dropped off quite badly," Raikkonen explained. "I didn't really have any doubts that I could keep him behind and I had a good speed in the last sector so I knew in the first corner he would not have a chance.
"Obviously you take a chance when you make so many laps with one set of tyres, but the team worked well and everything went well for us. Unfortunately yesterday [qualifying] wasn't good for us otherwise we could probably have fought for the win. But second is better than nothing."
Raikkonen said improving his qualifying performances would be crucial at future races after starting from sixth on the grid in Hungary.
"I keep making my life difficult on Saturdays so then we pay a price," he said. "But I had a good car and we managed to do two stops - that was the only way really to jump people. In the end it was quite close with Seb but it paid off for us and we gained some points in the championship.

No more Red Bull talks for Raikkonen
Kimi Raikkonen is no longer in the running for the vacant seat at Red Bull, according to his manager Steve Robertson.
With Mark Webber retiring from Formula One at the end of the season, Raikkonen and Toro Rosso driver Daniel Ricciardo were named as the two main candidates to replace Webber in 2014. However, it appears that Raikkonen will not be Sebastian Vettel's team-mate next season after Robertson said talks had broken down.
"The negotiations with Red Bull were not successful and ended some time ago," Robertson is quoted by Turun Sanomat. |

Kimi Raikkonen absence fuels doubts over Lotus F1 team relationship
Thursday, October 31st 2013, 14:21 GMT
By Jonathan Noble
Doubts about Kimi Raikkonen's immediate future with Lotus in Formula 1 have emerged amid signs of increasing tension between the Finn and his team bosses after the Indian Grand Prix.
The Finn will be a late arrival in Abu Dhabi, having opted to delay his departure from Europe until the last minute. Raikkonen is missing his regular media commitments at the Yas Marina track on Thursday.
Although the team is adamant that the former world champion's decision to arrive late is simply down to him electing to spend more time at home, with no risk of jet lag issues due to the time difference, high level sources have revealed that all is not well between the driver and team.
As well as the ongoing matter of unpaid payments - which he said was a key factor in him electing to join Ferrari in 2014 – the nature of the heated radio conversation with trackside operations director Alan Permane at Buddh telling him to let Romain Grosjean overtake him is understood to have not gone down well.
Sources with good knowledge of the situation suggest that Raikkonen was so annoyed with Lotus matters that he even briefly considered not racing in Abu Dhabi this weekend.
However, following conversations with senior team representatives over the last 48 hours, it appears that Raikkonen has been convinced to carry on with the team and is now scheduled to arrive in time for opening practice in Abu Dhabi.
It is also thought unlikely that, having not been paid in full, he would deliberately not race and put himself at risk of breach of contract.
Nevertheless, the relationship between Raikkonen and Lotus appears set to come to a difficult end over the remaining races of the 2013 campaign.
Lotus has been in the media spotlight since India, with team principal Eric Boullier apologising on Tuesday for the language used in radio comments following a backlash from Raikkonen fans.
Boullier vowed to have words with both Raikkonen and Grosjean in Abu Dhabi this weekend to ensure that the team's performances on track are not compromised.
" I'm going to speak to both of them in Abu Dhabi, " he told AUTOSPORT. " We are working for these guys to deliver, but there is a team behind them and you always have to think about the team. "
Neither Raikkonen nor his manager Steve Robertson were available for comment.
