Kimi Raikkonen sure Lotus will take second victory of 2013 if they sustain form

Kimi Raikkonen is confident Lotus will be able to win again in 2013 provided they can maintain the level of performance they showed at the last race in Germany.

"DRS or not, it's never easy to overtake at the Hungaroring. To get the weekend right, you have to have good sessions in FP1, FP2 and FP3, then a strong qualifying session and finally a perfect start to the race. "Obviously you need to get to the front in the qualifying, but also avoid the dirty side of the track on the grid. When you look back through the races this season, it seems the dirty side of the track is a real disadvantage in the starts." The 33-year-old, who has only twice started from the front two rows since China, says the expected hot weather in Budapest will inevitably help Lotus again but reiterated that achieving a competitive grid slot would be key. "Again [in Germany] we saw that warmer temperatures suited us and we usually get hot weather in Budapest so that should be a good thing," he admitted. "Of course, you never know until you have driven the track in this year's car. In Germany, my radio wasn't working properly and I got stuck behind the Mercedes which didn't help my race. The performance of the cars was pretty close and it's easier to overtake at the Nürburgring than it is at the Hungaroring, so we will need to qualify well."
