Kimi Raikkonen says he would take little satisfaction from finishing ahead of teammate Sebastian Vettel in the drivers standings in 2016 if Ferrari is not winning races.The Finn is currently fourth in the championship and seven points clear of Vettel, having outscored the German seven times so far this season, as well as out qualifying him on six occasions. While Raikkonen has enjoyed his best season since his return to Ferrari in 2014, the Italian outfit is yet to build upon the three wins it achieved in 2015.When asked in Thursdays drivers press conference at Suzuka if it would make a difference to him if he finished third, fourth or fifth in the standings, or if he finished ahead of Vettel, the 2007 world champion replied: Not really, we are here to win and anything less than winning is not why we are here, or why all the guys in Ferrari work hard to try to be there. So obviously second is better than third but its not an awful lot in the end.Its been a more solid year and consistent I think and more smoothly but we want to be back at the front and fighting consistently, or at putting ourselves at lleast to have a good chance of winning.dddddddddddd So thats the aim and obviously after that it depends on many other things also.We are lacking a bit of speed but we are not giving up and we keep trying and improving and Im sure well get there it just takes time. In a way its been better than the last few years but its still not what we want.Despite already recording 10 points more this year compared to the whole of 2015, Raikkonen -- who won the 2005 Japanese Grand Prix from 17th -- says he finds it hard to be satisfied with the notion of anything other than Ferrari competing at the front for race victories.Its a bit difficult to be satisfied where we are right now. Obviously we want to be in a better place and fight in front but this is what we have right now and we always try to do our best, obviously the places weve been recently, its not what we want and where we want to be as Ferrari but we have to keep working and giving our best. Hopefully sooner than later be up. ' ' '
