Raikkonen hoping it’s seven up

KIMI RAIKKONEN is hoping seven turns out to be his lucky number this weekend. The world champion is currently in the middle of a slump as he has failed to win any of the last six grands prix to trail Lewis Hamilton by seven points in the drivers’ standings.

However, the Ferrari star endured the same scenario last year after blazing his way to victory in the curtain-raiser in Australia and he is looking for similar fortune this weekend when the Formula One circus heads to Budapest for the Hungarian Grand Prix.

“Our season looks different, but nothing has been lost,” he said.
