Reigning Formula 1 champion Kimi Raikkonen, has insisted he can pull one over his rivals and retain his title as Formula One champion.

Raikkonen has been criticised recently due to his poor performance.

As he began his preparations for this weekend's Belgian Grand Prix, The Finnish driver, often dubbed the “Iceman”, repeatedly insisted that critics should not write him off as a title contender.

He says he believes he can overcome both his temmate Felipe Massa and championship rival McLaren's Lewis Hamilton to take the title.
Raikkonen is currently 13 points behind leader Hamilton with Ferrari teammate Brazilian Massa second behind him.

The Finnish driver has not won a race since April and judging by his comments, critics might be proven wrong by Sunday 7th.
