Raikkonen in defiant mood

KIMI RAIKKONEN insists he has lost none of his motivation in the face of Lewis Hamilton's recent domination.

But the reigning Formula One World Champion is growing concerned at the pace of the Briton who was again quickest in practice yesterday for tomorrow's Hungarian Grand Prix.

"Our main rivals seem to still be a little quicker than us.

There is still room for improvement, and we will concentrate all our efforts on this in preparing for qualifying and the race," said Raikkonen.

But he is far from demoralised and said: "My motivation is the same. Of course, it's not nice when it's not going so well, but it's not the first time. We will just keep pushing and at some point things will start to improve."
