"We will fight as long as arithmetic allows us to. We can't leave anything undone" - Kimi Raikkonen

But with just four races remaining Raikkonen is determined to keep up his bid to claim a maiden Formula One crown by claiming a hat-trick of wins at Spa on Sunday.

The 27-year-old Ferrari racer said: "We will fight as long as arithmetic allows us to. We can't leave anything undone.

"We still have a realistic chance. It is not going to be easy because we again lost points in Italy. But you never know what can happen in the next few races, so we keep pushing, and as long as we have a chance then we will see.

"We will give it everything to win. I have been on the central step of the podium twice at Spa at the last two races and I want to get back there on Sunday."
