Raikkonen: Ferrari will catch up with Mercedes this season

Kimi Rikkonen sees no reason why Ferrari might not be able to catch up with Mercedes this season, or maybe even overtake it. After Vettl’s victory in Malaysia, they didn’t expect to be as competitive in the next race in China either, but they were rarely more than a few seconds behind leaders Hamilton and Rosberg, despite the colder conditions more suited to Mercedes. Asked if Ferrari could catch the Anglo-German pair, Raikkonen replied that he saw no reason why not. '' I think we have good plans since last year and we will only get better this year.
