Lotus: 'Kimi Raikkonen not out of title race'

Lotus Renault have insisted that there is still more to come from their number one driver Kimi Raikkonen in this year's Drivers' Championship.

Raikkonen, who finished on the podium in Hungary for the second straight race, remains 38 points behind leader Sebastian Vettel, but his team have said that there is plenty of time to go.

"It is possible [for Kimi to win]," team principal Eric Boullier told Autosport.

"Kimi is going to have to make his chances of merit; and in Hungary on merit we beat Red Bull - so there will be a good fight.

"We have some good upgrades coming, so I am quite happy with what we can deliver. At the factory, they have worked hard and well."

The next Grand Prix is in Belgium on August 25.
