Lotus Renault's Kimi Raikkonen has insisted that his position of fourth on the grid for Sunday's Spanish Grand Prix has given him as good a chance as ever of picking up a victory.
Raikkonen said that Mercedes, who have qualified on the front row, are not as fast in the race, which gives him a decent chance of getting in front of them.
"I think it is going to be normal chances," Autosport quotes Raikkonen as saying. "We have to make a good start and then try to make the best laps.
"Mercedes is consistently not as strong in the races as they are in qualifying, so we'll do our best and see where we end up.
"It has been pretty good all weekend. For sure we didn't have the speed of Mercedes, but we have seen that in the last few races they are very strong in qualifying so we did pretty okay."
Sebastian Vettel is the other driver ahead of Raikkonen on the grid.
