Kimi Raikkonen insists it isn't beyond the realms of possibility that Lotus can win the World Championship in 2013.

"We know we had a good car last season, but everyone is working hard to make the best car. I will be working with the team to help get the car as strong as we can, then in Melbourne we'll have our first taste of results. "It's a long season from there. 2012 was a good start; let's see what we can do in 2013." The new season marks the 33-year-old's second at Enstone and he acknowledges the fact he now has one year at the team under his belt will prove a slight advantage in his attempts to improve upon 2012. "It's not a massive thing which will suddenly mean you start winning all the races, but it's nice to be at the same team as you understand how they work, and they understand how you work," Raikkonen explained. "We quickly developed a pretty good way of working together last year and there's no reason to think that won't continue this season."
