Raikkonen expects tough competition in Malaysian GP

Despite emerging as winner in Melbourne last week, Raikkonen said he did not want to be too content, as he realised there are many rounds to be faced this season.

Raikkonen however said the main obstacle in Malaysia is the unpredictable weather.

"I mean, it is hot here... and the weather changes very quickly and it rains in the race so that can of course change it completely. But apart from that it's just that it's a bit more hot,” said the 33-year-old driver at Unilever’s media launch.

Even if they've turned a moment to stage rally in 2010, he acknowledged more likely to rival F1.

"I wanted to do racing and obviously if you want to do racing from the start and if there is a chance you would probably take that. And that's really why I wanted to race,” he said.

For those of you who wish to see the race, the event will be held at the Sepang International Circuit beginning March 22 to March 24.
