Kimi can take F1 title, says Ecclestone

Michael Schumacher may enter the 2004 season as the most successful driver in the history of Formula One, but the sport’s supremo, Bernie Ecclestone, has predicted the German will meet his match this year in Kimi Raikonnen.

Schumacher came through one of the most open seasons of recent times to win a record-breaking sixth world title last year and has vowed the hunger for success still burns fiercely.
