Raikkonen urges McLaren to improve reliability

McLAREN’s Kimi Raikkonen yesterday warned his team that it must improve the reliability of its cars if it is to stand any chance of fighting with World Champions Ferrari.

Raikkonen proved that the new MP4-19B has the speed at the Belgian Grand Prix nearly two weeks ago, when he won the team's first race of the season.

But the Finn has been forced to retire on seven occasions so far this year due to mechanical failures one of these happened when he was leading the German Grand Prix and his rear wing failed.
