BAKU, Azerbaijan -- Kimi Raikkonen believes he has the same opportunities to win races as Ferrari teammate Sebastian Vettel this year, saying that the rules that govern their strategies are clear.
At the last grand prix in China, Raikkonen's strategy saw him drop from fourth to sixth at the first round of pit stops as he was seemingly kept on track to help manufacturer an opportunity for Vettel to repass Valtteri Bottas for the lead. Whatever the thinking, the strategy failed and Bottas retained the lead while Raikkonen lost two places due to an unusually long -- and therefore much slower -- opening stint of the race than Lewis Hamilton and Daniel Ricciardo.
